Fucking rude to fine them if you ask me. Why do the NZ's get to do their special little dance while everyone watches and if someone doesn't do what they expect, they get fined? Hello, the Haka is a war dance. The idea of war is to take people by surprise.

I guess the French won that round huh?

I did not hear about that? How stupid. I think they should be allowed to do their own little intimidation movement, and if it entails walking enmass up to the Haka why not? As long as neither team passes the 50m line I see no problem in what the French did. Stupid IRB.
