My favourite recent (ish) response was Wales in 2008 (?) standing and staring the ABs down at the end of the Haka.

Still lost but great theatre.


And 100% agree with Islander. đź‘Ť

It was an impressive Siva Tau, and a properly respectful response from England.

Compelling TV Steve, I agree, but should we really be setting up a situation where combatants are this pumped up and literally touching foreheads before kick-off?! Is that a 'properly respectful' situation, or one that's reminiscent of boxing weigh-ins where the fighters play the game and get all gnarly with each other because it's proven that will attract PPV buyers and end up benefitting their bank balances? Fair play to the two guys here for keeping their composure, but on another day one of them would twitch, and it would all kick off...

I always remember Brian Moore saying one of his greatest rugby memories was standing tall facing the haka. He had respect for it and the ABs had respect for him. That's the way it should be.
