I seem to remember a team did line up to them a few years ago (Ireland maybe???). Looked like they were facing up to them. There was criticism that this was inflammatory, but I thought it was all part of the game. Some excellent facial expressions on the Kiwis and if they were just a few yards away from me, I'd probably do a Dawsey.
