I must say, that the Scots have stolen the march on the Aussies... the ultimate Haka riposte:

When the Kiwis start up the haka, the Aussies should get straight into their warm up routine; stretches and drills, etc, get into position, have a pep talk. Ignore it all as if it was even happening. Man that would be hilarious.

Dishonourable - and would fire the ABs up even more. Not a good idea after the Wallabies were corn-holed in the Bledisloe.

You want something to frighten the bejezuz out of the ABs, like the Haka is designed to do.
 
Aussies did have a haka a longggg time ago, the 'kangaroo hop' or something. Yes it was as lame as it sounds.
 
Even more disrespectful would be to watch the haka, then when they're finished, applaud and hoot and laugh!

Can you imagine how crazy they would go?! : Might put them off their game. :

Just once...for laughs. Gamesmanship and all that,
 

Aussies need to worry more about playing then poo pooing the haka. As a response to the haka, how about not losing
 
Excuse my feelings, but haka gets on my nerves and I honestly think that it has no room in sporting activities.

However if NZ antics are so acceptable they deserve reply from other sporting teams, as it is now they have to endure hostile dance with unfriendly gestures.

Edit:
Maybe moonlighting would be a good start and equally unfriendly if not better.
 

Well said.

Imagine the Wimbledon final. Players come out, warm up, national anthem and all that. Just before the umpire says "play", everyone has to come to a standstill while Federer gives his opponent the bird and spits at him, then does a little dance to formalize it. That's basically what the All Blacks think is acceptable in their little dance.
