OP Sorry, ASp, I wimped out. The haka really is best seen and heard, and not when spoken by one weedy little pakeha. I found a nice mpeg of the AB's performing the haka for an Adidas ad. It's about 3MB, so I suggest saving the file to disk before playing it if you're on a dialup connexion (I nearly said, "right-click, then save as", but I remembered that Apple meece don't have no right button). The ad is a pretty good performance, actually. I once saw footage of the 1905 All Blacks performing the haka - a bunch of skinny, gangly, white guys - utterly pathetic! Now that the All Black team is dominated by Maori and Pacific Island players, they really look the part when performing it.
