England v NZ

Was looking forward to the haka, but couldn't hear it. Not offended, but don't like the singing of sweet chariot during it

Not sure how I feel about it.  Part of me likes the fact that it was drowned out, and part of me thinks we should let them do it.

Either way I suspect the crowd helped us a little, even if the ref didn't!

My view is it should not happen. Facing it you are standing in the cold and rain definite advantage to those doing it. England should introduce a Morris dance to compete.

Totally against it - a one sided ego boost. Happy for the Maori team to do it; happy for the island teams to do it. When they play each other...

It seemed that Fiji's haka lasted all of about 10 seconds on Saturday, and NZ's was about 10 times longer

NZ could give up having their anthem played if desperate to do it. The only thing it has going for it from my English view point is the amount of time they must spend rehearsing it now, (instead of more training) compared with the real drivel they performed in the seventies.
