Ta reponse est interessante Remival. Pour abonder dans ton sens, voici un extrait d'un article de Robbie Deans, l'entraineur des Crusaders, ancien All Black lui meme et ex assistant de John Mitchell, (et possible futur entraineur des Wallabies!...) paru dans le New Zealand Herald aujourd'hui:
Citer :
In truth, the contest started even before the opening whistle when the French gave the haka absolute respect.
It was at this point that the French first began to isolate individuals within the All Black team.
They achieved this by encroaching into the All Blacks personal space as they performed the haka, and getting one on one with their opposites.
By doing this, the French players were seeking to get into the minds of their All Black counterparts, to reinforce the magnitude of the challenge ahead.
It was a successful tactic: certainly it set the tone for the way the game subsequently played out.
C'est un Kiwi qui le dit!
