We've had the "Losing Aura" article, any sign of "Haka Must be Banned" story?

Don't particularly like it.

Never change, Kruse. Sobriety is seriously over-rated.

Hmmm... I'm more and more often having to go read my own posts to figure out what the hell people are replying to.
Time to self-reflect? Or have a midday beer? Hmmm....

@booboo maybe cos England will win,.they dont need to talk about taking the plucky Kiwis silly little dance away?

@Kruse every beer is a midday beer to @Kruse

TSF is essentially an island of rugby reason in a sea of idiots

Or the very definition of groupthink::
"a psychological phenomenon where the desire for harmony and conformity in a group leads to irrational or dysfunctional decision-making outcomes."

That falls down on TSF with the "harmony and conformity" bit though. "You can all go fuck yourselves because I disagree" tends to hold more sway around here.

@Snowy Fuck you - that's all bullshit.

Apparently England have an identity and the All Blacks don't.

And then we usually get a few comments about them doing Morris dancing or something, which I still have no idea what that is . This is the only time I hear about it .

@sparky that's the most backwards article you'll read in a while

Explain what a decent meme is to @MN5 ?

Aura's gone. Now our bloody identity has gone missing too.....

There's actually a pretty cool interview with Tana on how Kapa O Pango came into being.

@Bones It reminds me of the bird-watching guy's infamous article before the 2004 Paris rampage.

Hopefully it will have the same effect.

Nothing makes me want Razor to succeed more than a bunch of English piston wristed gibbons who write for newspapers being snotty about him.

Diversity rules on the Fern!

@Victor-Meldrew to be fair, I think we do lack a clear style of play or identity right now, and posted about it a couple of weeks, so not just NZ media getting bites off the fern....

The vast majority of posters are polish chicks, so generalized opinions are somewhat biased in that that direction.

Some Polish chicks also seem to confuse their opinions with facts...

Any Freudian analysts ready to have a look at this sentence?
