the Haka on live TV
Former South Africa No10 Butch James made an enemy of millions of Kiwis last week when he said that he tried not to laugh while watching the Haka when Byron Kelleher was hitting the ground.
James also suggested that the All Blacks’ choice between Ka Mate and Kapa o Pango “will tell you if the All Blacks are really taking the game seriously.” They were weird comments and did not go down well.
Well one week later, James’ former teammate Jean de Villiers was on SuperSport in South Africa, and did the exact same thing. First he talked about how much he loved the Haka, then he went on to describe how he was trying not to laugh at it on one occasion as well. His story also concerned Kelleher, but how he slipped one time during the Haka.
