The Haka is a Maori tradition and from my knowledge Western Samoa or Samoa is the other team that does this war dance as well. Rugby players do wear protective clothing underneath their jerseys now and the older players think they have gone soft lol.

gone soft.. haha. There was a guy in the NZ Ireland game that had his head busted open and he went off the field for like 2 minutes to get some stitches and then was back in the game with a headband on.
I know it is crazy. We used to get stitched up in the changing room depending how bad it was. If it wasn't too bad it would be bandaged up and sorted out after the game. A flesh wound isn't an injury in terms of coaching staff and the adrenaline covers the pain. Funny enough I did a post on the Haka last night explaining it's meaning as it is not just a war dance.
