Meanwhile an actual World Cup presses on. ;-)
All Blacks vs France:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8qT67ILX3YAustralia vs Scotland:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jxm41ioey84Scotland almost took it... but instead it's a clean sweep for Southern nations heading into the Semis.
FWIW, the first clip shows one of the newer Hakas. Not as good as the original IMHO. Worth observing that the Haka has been a tradition at All Black games for over 100 years and it's immensely popular with spectators from most nations.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
