MISS B.ITCH asked in SportsRugby · 1 decade ago

Who agrees that the english disrespected the All Blacks?

We, as a team (Wales) stood still in silence and just stood up to them but you english crowd made a racket by trying to sing throughout the traditional Haka!

How rude were you?

Update:

Don't be an eejit Guvnor - stick to the point!

    Yes I agree and I'm English. Disrespect in the extreme, made me ashamed.

    It was my fascination with the Haka that got me hooked on watching rugby.

    That and the Welsh singing Land of My Fathers.

    The Haka lifts my spirits and The Welsh anthem moves me to tears, the crowd singing it - perfect.

    I think we can all agree that the Welsh always disrespect the opposition kicker whilst taking their kicks, all that whistling and booing so I wouldn't be climbing up on top of that great high horse just yet.

    Having watched the video again, I can hear a lot of noise over the haka at the Wales match. You want silence during the haka? Look at this:

    Also team wise, England just stood there in silence watching it as well, so I can't see your point.

    The English disrespected the English more than anyone. We're a proud rugby nation and these three humblings by the Big Three will have shaken the team.

    The welsh were probably stunned into silence by seeing a team with a deeper tan than Gavin Hensons.

    eejit - Thats a bit rude aint it ??? why dont you respect my traditional right to be an eejit

    That's not disrespect. If you want to see disrespect go to a Cardiff v Swansea football match

    i don't understand rugby..... but i would probably watch it in respect or maybe we should sing through the englishes song.
