with all these new players of Polynesian descent in the team,will they be doing a form of the HAKA to put the Shiites up the opposition? just a thought.

Get some of your Scottish mates to come and dance for them George. Seeing blokes in skirts will do the trick. Hope you're well.

hi mal,itll be the highland fling.health isn't too bad,cancer has now spread to a couple of places in my back,but I get treatment every 3 months.thanks for asking.miss coming down for the home games but listen in on my laptop.

Good to hear from you George. I hope everything goes OK.

Sorry to read about your health problem and as a fellow member of the 'Big C' club trust that your treatment will be as successful as mine.

Wonder if you remember when the Aus Kangaroos used to do their pre-match dance ritual? They stopped doing it in the late 60's. Remember seeing it for the first time when they played Hull on the 1948/49 tour at a packed out Boulevard( around 17,000?)-- must admit that it wasn't very good. Still have the programme from the match somewhere which featured the Sydney Harbour Bridge on the front cover. Remember Clive Churchill playing full back and Hull losing. They also played Rovers at the old Craven Park a few weeks later who beat them. Gt Britain also beat them in the Ashes Tests 3-0.

Good old days when beating Aus in Ashes series was not that difficult!

thanks Freddie,never had the privalage of seeingthe kangaroos doing that dance.

The bagpipes should do the trick...
