New Zealand’s All Blacks defeated England 26-7 Sunday night in the 2014 Hong Kong Sevens Tournament. After the game is when things went from good to great.

The Haka dance is typically performed before a match to intimidate the opponent, but in this case the All Blacks performed in celebration.

Oh yeah, it was raining cats and dogs, and the team went shirtless.

    As a side note, I was taught the haka as a young man, from a friend that was a native of New Zealand.

    I danced in a Polynesian group during my teens to make money ($60 a week). Loved the Haka!

    Always was fun to paint our faces for the dance. And with all my tongue waggling got the attention of some girls from school!

    Rugby players are generally easy too, just F.Y.I.

    I'm willing to share, I also have three men's teams in my club I can also use as eye candy. There are a few that look like that, they're pretty :love:

    Very nice, haven't watched/kept up with rugby for a while.

    Love watching the Haka though. Can't remember who it was against a few years ago I think, but NZ was doing the Haka at the same time vs the other team at the begining. Was rather interesting to see.

    Oh you know...just 2 surgeries after being bit by a poisonous snake. No big deal. I get hurt more in real life than I did playing rugby

    I have a friend with the same scar. His came from a rusty car hood...sliced it full open.
