Morris dancing with attitude

Does a war dance have a place on the modern sporting field? Questions have been raised over the aggressive nature of the New Zealand All Black rugby team's pre-match Haka ahead of their match with Wales, but perhaps the answer is a pre-match ritual of our own. Could a morris dancing group from Maldon in Essex provide the solution?

Performed by Dark Horse Morris who are Dave Kelly, Linda Townsend, Nigel Farmer, Chris Farmer, Sue Watson, Fiona Morris, Philippa Oval, Sue Powell, Fez Powell, Geoff Harris, and Robert Bishop.
