6-0 aussie aussie aussie!

Yeah that wasnt their traditional style..
believe me it is bloody good when its done the proper way..

The traditional way is Maori first then the english, a big band supporting with a male opera type singer.
Not saying that the females cant sing it, they do a great job aswell.

16-0

oooh

Australias anthem is not over the top enough, too sing songy.

NZs can sound better.

Listen

'oh say can you see dah dah dah dah dah dah, what so proudly dah dah ergh...'

Krusty the Clown

They've got the badass Haka thing, which is caw

Yah, Haka isnt too shabby...

Not meaning to demean the Aborigines, but the Maories really did do better technologically than them... Have any of you ever been to the New Zealand national Museum??? The whole thing is pretty much on the Maories, and it has this display of a fort built by them during the battles with the british... Rather impressive, log pallisades, trenchwork watchtowers, most impressive given they must've worked it up pretty near on the spot...

Also i heard this thing once about a battle between brits and maories where the maories were winning coz the briots were outta ammo for thier muskets or whatever, so the Maories came over under truce, GAVE the brit soldiers some ammo(the Maories use to steal guns off the brits), ran back to thier trenches and continued the fight!! NUTTY STUFF!!!!

Oh yeah, the Aborigines made this thing like a peice of wood on a rope that makes this cool sound when you spin it round above your head...

Are you talking about the one in wellington?

cos thats realy good

and rock paintings

Yah in Wellington man.

Im as inclined to burn the Kiwis-at-the-drop-of-a-hat as the next person, but thats really not too bad a museum....

Yes a very good museum
I enjoy giving the kiwis heaps of s***. Mainly because half my family come from that hole.

Yah. Any s*** we give the New Zealanders is only half hearted, i give the same to ppl from the NT and Tasmania...

Lay off the NT people
or at least the people from Alice springs! i.e. ME!

all anthems am ghey :P

Why does everyone have 'Brisbane, QLD' in thier profiles if thier not?? :)

all over 28-10 Australia OWNZ NZ...hehe

i'm from brisbane qld, which brisbane are you from?

well i live on a farm that has 1460 acres....

To honest i like the NZ haka it realy drums up the nationalist in every KIWI which I think is great.

The Yank anthem is another good one it realy says something about the pride they have in themselv'es which I'm sure we all know about.

Our national anthem I feel should be a cross between "And the band played waltzing Matilda" and that other one"We are one" I think thats what it's called.

The one we have now I feel says sweet f*** all about us as a people,nothing about our proud past nothing about our native people and nothing about our multi cultural status today.

I doubt that any of you have missed the Brits and there sing alongs at the footy and i gotta say that no matter the tune you know they are proud,thats what we need.Something that gets us on our feet with our hands on our hearts and I'm sorry but Advace Australia Fair just doesn't do it for me.

they should just do that haka for their anthem that would own

I live here bu im from NT

Lets just steal the haka already.

Footy match. we do the haka, they look on stupefied and go like,

NZ- "Oi! Yiz c*** do thut, mite!!!!?"
AUS- "Why not!?" (pretending to be genuinely puzzled)
NZ- "Coz its ours!"
AUS- "No its not."
NZ- "Yes it uz!!!!"
AUS- "Riiiiggghhhhtttt...." :)

Theyll get use to it, and the world'll believe us over NZ anyday...

rofl

gg australia, must say you guys out played us, congratulations.

next qgl i do haka for every1 :P

lol@SSM!!!

XeK you might scare away all the kiddies mate. :)

I want to go to QGL now just to see some idiot doing the haka :P But other LANs seem to come up on the same weekend as QGL

which brisbane are you from?

theres a brisbane in california :)

By Phoenix

OMG!

OK, checked the site- they copied off us, were older hence they suck.

still creepy though

After tonights Lions game, a large group of the boys and I had a few beers at the Gove SLSA. Many/most of these boys are Welsh, Irish, Poms and Kiwis.

Anyways after a few beers and the rugby heads stirred these old bastards went around the room and each person sparked up their countrys rugby song. The Welsh - Bread of Heaven, Irish - Call of Ireland, Poms - Swing Low Sweet Chariot, Aussies - Waltzing Matilda and Advance Aust., Kiwis - Haka and God defend NZ and we decided to sing Flower of Scotland coz the bastards played.

By far the best was Bread of Heaven, Flower of Scotland and the two kiwi tunes, A large group of ppl singing God defend NZ is actually quite good, Australia has nothing. We can learn a lot from the Brits in this department.

All said and done - We won a great match in the greatest code of football.

Yeah I have to agree the poms,scots,welsh and irish realy get into it we could take leaf out of there book.

But Aussie rules is the best code of footy even though I like Union.

my old school (st peters lutheran college) uses the Haka as one of its warcries :)

we have a strong relation with PNG, so we have heaps of students from there come to the school. Its amazing hearing 50 big PNG guys doing the haka to a bunch of marist girls :)

Although a couple of New Guinean songs would be good (i was born there and lived ther for a while) they have some things that could really rile a crowd up
