There's nothing that gets us more fired up for an All Blacks Test than the Haka.

Whether it's the traditional 'Ka Mate', or the new 'Kapa O Pango', watching the boys lay down the challenge to their opponents sends chills up our spines.

The same can be said for the Kiwi league team, although if we had to choose the better, we'd go with the All Blacks - hands down.

But there's a problem with New Zealand sportsmen, and that's that they feel the need to pull out the Haka every time they win something - namely, at the Olympics and the Commonwealth Games.

The Haka is a challenge - that's why the All Blacks and Kiwis do it before the game starts, not after.

Why would you challenge someone after you've beaten them?? Yeah, we're not sure either.

Quite frankly, it's embarrassing when New Zealander's perform the Haka outside of rugby and league.

There's nothing intimidating about our swimmers (decked out in budgie smugglers) or rowers (wearing something similar) doing the Haka. Or any athletes, for that matter - whatever they're dressed in.

You don't see the Black Caps doing the Haka before they play. And thank goodness for that, because it would be a joke. No offence, Martin.

Next thing you know, the Silver Ferns will be doing the Haka. In their budgie smugglers.

Just because you can do the Haka, doesn't mean that you should.

So - let's just keep the Haka for the All Blacks and Kiwis. Really, they're the only teams that do it with pride.
