Rugby World Cup goes Haka crazy

Last night when I got home from Auckland I was trolling through my twitter feed and found the pic on the right. Yes ladies you can all go ‘Awwww’ now. But it got me thinking when I saw the distance between the two sides. Why do the teams have to stand so far apart? The [...]
