JMBIII Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 55 minutes ago, Jack Sawyer said: I'm sorry Martyn but I just don't "get it". I have never watched this sport so I don't really have a clue what they're doing. To me it looks like something out of Lord Of The Rings with the bad guys chanting like that, that's all I get out of it. Jack, the Haka is a Maori warrior display of intimidation towards their enemies. The good guys are the 'All Blacks' . NZ national team. Makes our football players look like pansies. I like your pictures of the flight. (You were in SD last Tuesday, weren't you?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for clarifying that JM. I had absolutely no idea what the heck they were doing. By SD you mean South Dakota? Nope, nowhere near it. Don't think I've ever been there in the sim and never there in real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really take their sport very seriously don't they? I could never understand sports. Here in the USA people go crazy for college teams but all their really doing is rooting for "laundry" (shirts) because every year the teams changes when the seniors graduate and are replaced. I could never understand the desire to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
