Clearly, this France-NZ quarterfinal in Cardiff has most people salivating like Pavlov's dog. I just don't see a replay of '99. Looks like an all Southern Semi final grouping.Nursedudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07841605014910203222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319764576348149903.post-65747143002692790822007-09-27T18:02:00.000+12:002007-09-27T18:02:00.000+12:00Haven't read ALL the posts but wouldn't it solve t...Haven't read ALL the posts but wouldn't it solve the problem if the ABs and the other PI countries did their 'haka' and then the opponents (via the captain) could hold up a card giving them a mark out of 5. <BR/><BR/>The marks could be subdivided into 'threat value' and 'artistic interpretation'.<BR/><BR/>The haka performers would get great feedback and the crowd would be involved as well - result!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
