I kind of agree with you pulse. Don't get me wrong, I love the All Black haka, but I'm sentient enough to realise that is because I was brought up with it. It does however seem to be done for the spectacle of it now rather than for any cultural reason, and that cheapens it.

However, the NZ Rugby 7's team, for example, only performs the haka if they win a tournament. NZ Olympic gold medal winners will get a haka from their team mates when they return to the olympic village. I don't think those instances cheapen the haka.
