Give a fucking rest.
I'd like to see the English rugby team watch the Haka then respond with a Morris dance. It's traditional, innit?
What's most annoying is their insistence that the haka is done immediately before kick off, no response allowed. It should at least be followed by the anthems.

Interesting historical fact- the first time an anthem was sung at an international sporting event was in 1905 at the Wales v New Zeland rugby match. After the haka the crowd began singing "Hen Wlad fy Nhadau" as a response. Wales went on to win (the first of only 3 wind against NZ)
