Although Scotland may have gotten the last laugh with the 18-8 victory.
As made customary by New Zealand's rugby team, the All Blacks, their national lacrosse team has been preforming the Haka before their international games in Manchester, England.
The Haka as described on New Zealand's website is;
Various actions are employed in the course of a performance, including facial contortions such as showing the whites of the eyes and the poking out of the tongue, and a wide variety of vigorous body actions such as slapping the hands against the body and stamping of the feet. As well as chanted words, a variety of cries and grunts are used. Haka may be understood as a kind of symphony in which the different parts of the body represent many instruments. The hands, arms, legs, feet, voice, eyes, tongue and the body as a whole combine to express courage, annoyance, joy or other feelings relevant to the purpose of the occasion.
Maybe you should leave this one to the rugby guys. once your game can back up the chanting then feel free to Haka all over the place. until then, leave it to these guys...
