How would you react?

Any rugby fan worth their salt would be able to a decent rendition of the Haka. However, usually these performances are reserved down your local for an audience of your mates, not in a very public shop in front of actual New Zealanders.

Irish rugby legend Shane Horgan and Heineken gave some unsuspecting Irish shoppers a tough challenge. While on a seemingly ordinary shop run, they were ambushed by three shirtless Maoris putting on an intimidating performance of the Haka.

Then they were called upon to answer with their own version of the war dance which, as you can probably guess, made for some pretty entertaining results.
