The All Blacks do the Haka with the Welsh lining up to receive it - I have never really understood why teams have to meekly watch the Kiwis get ready for the game. The Welsh are just staring at the Blacks and they are staring back - no one is moving - Fantastic - the Haka finished about two minutes ago!
