Why was there a bull on the field before the Wales vs NZ match?

Question

and would they have been better starting this bull in the forwards. Also at what point in time did the welch become a******s. Ive been to wales many times and they seemed great people but no allowing the Haka!!!!! comeon grow up

Answer 1

The Bull is the mascot of the (regiment)brass band i think, but not sure!

As for the Haka, by all accounts, The WRU asked NZ in October for the haka to be done in between the anthems, but on Saturday morning the AB's said no, it would be done before kick off or not all! This nonsense has been blown out of all proportion if you ask me, but the argument at the moment is the home team should have the last say so to speak and not have visitors dictating to them in their own house!

Between me and you, it is 6 of 1 and 1/2 a dozen of the other!

As on WC once said "there 57 old farts running the RFU" I think old farts run all rugby unions!

Answer 2

A man after my own heart; I think the haka politics was petty game playing.

You can't lump all the Welsh people into the a*****e category. I think it was mostly their Rugby Union.

I posted a question about the Wales match & no haka..& I received some really supportive replies by Welshmen.

Unfortunately, living in Mexico without a tv, I didn't see the game. Was there really a bull on the field? What a dag!

Answer 3

THEY DID ALLOW THE KIWIS TO DO THE HAKA BUT THEY CHOOSE NOT TO DO IT TO THE WAY THE WRU WANTED IT,THEY DONE IT IN THE CHANGING ROOMS BEFORE THE GAME AND TO BE HONEST I WAS GUTTED ABOUT IT ASWELL (,AND THATS COMING FROM PROUD WELSHMAN )
