There's a reason for that bad 1973 haka, to be fair. The All Blacks hadn't actually performed it at all on the tour, because management had decided against it. But the Welsh RU specifically requested it for before the BaaBaa's game, but manager Ernie Todd (who had sent Keith Murdoch home earlier in the tour) didn't tell them until the morning of the game. That's why they'e all looking at Sid Going and trying in vain to copy him, because he was the only one that knew it and they hadn't had time to even practice.
