Docking...


Take something that people love away from them and they will hate. Welsh Rugby Union, we HATE you...

This is from www.planet-rugby.com:

"Villain of the Match: Without doubt this award goes to the WRU Officials who deprived the crowd of the Haka. The Haka is a tradition the Kiwi's are proud of and crowds the world over yearn to see live. So for the WRU to try and change this tradition was ludicrous and unjustified. Take note WRU, nobody benefited from your actions but instead were deprived of one of rugby's greatest sights."

“The tradition needs to be honoured properly if we're going to do it,” said McCaw. “If the other team wants to mess around, we'll just do the Haka in the shed. At the end of the day, Haka is about spiritual preparation and we do it for ourselves. Traditionally fans can share the experience too and it’s sad that they couldn't see it today,” he said.

Basically it boiled down to this. The Welsh wanted the Haka to be performed straight after the New Zealand national anthem, so they could then reply with 'Hen Wlad fy Nhadau' their incoherent celtic garbled pub song.

Shut up and take 45 points you idiots...
