Hmmm it seems the eight pints had some impact on the research methodology as there was no date cited for said claim of the haka events. The thesis also fails to identify in which country the haka was performed. If perchance it was not in the UK but in NZ the home of the haka then the site of said car factory becomes important as I dont recall any said car manufacturing occurring in NZ. On this basis my provisional assessment of the haka thesis is……….. BOLLOCKS :-)

PS: On the other hand if the author can provide evidence for the haka to have been invented in the UK everything takes on a different complexion as it might after eight pints.
