Great game that one though, probably the best ever, but without doubt a piss poor haka attempt.
Those comments below are pure Facebook: one word, one line, keypad reactions to something most hadn't seen before.
It would be a shock to see an All Black side perform a haka this way. In those days it was a rare treat to see it, a little later it was performed regularly but only overseas.
I think it was Buck Shelford who took charge of the more authentic way the All Blacks perform it nowadays, before every game. He kept the leap in the air at the end, which was bagged by the comments section on Facebook.
For the record, Sid Going was leading the infamous haka above (he is a proud Maori from Northland), Kent Lambert is doing it properly too (another Maori, from the Manawatu).
Off camera was Bryan Williams, another Polynesian. He was probably doing it OK.
Joe Karam, of Lebanese background didn't look too bad. The rest, including All Black legends like Grizz Wylie and Grant Batty, had plenty of learning to do.
I'm not even bothering to put this on that Facebook site, I wouldn't cheapen myself. It would also be too long for most to be able to read.
