Brewing Humor! |
The New Zealand rugby
team does a haka or war dance before each rugby match . . . its meant
to intimidate their opponents.
We thought you might get a kick out
of what the Scots do to counteract it in this commercial . . .
Thanks to Tony Starkowski
of the Hartford Wanderers Rugby team for sending this in!
