Condolences on the rugby @robert.

As a Kiwi, I don’t think it is a good thing for a team if their fans sing over the top of the haka, especially “Kapa o Pango”.   I think it got the All Blacks blood up a bit.

The ABs only pull “Kapa o Pango” out on special occasions, when they really respect their opponent.  And they do the Irish, given the ABs recent defeats by them.

“Kapa o Pango” was specifically created for the team, unlike “Ka Mate” , which is more generally known – I got taught it a high school many moons ago – and is widely used for the reason that most Kiwis can do it, albeit with a bit of rust.
