Inglis believes the upcoming Rugby League World Cup is an ideal opportunity for the Kangaroos to revive what was a 59-year tradition until 1967.

"I would love to see it happen without a doubt," Inglis said. 

"I want to bring that back because it would be something that is unique in rugby league."

Australian coach Mal Meninga is open to the idea with discussions to be held between senior Kangaroos players in the lead up to the World Cup.

Inglis said the dance could in time be just as meaningful to Australians as the Haka is for New Zealanders. 

"Mal is a supporter of it and I think the majority of the players are," the South Sydney fullback said. 

"I think it is obviously going to be a matter of taking it to the playing group and presenting it to them, and going from there.

"Hopefully it does happen and it sticks around for a very long time because I think we have the chance, as the players of now, to leave a good tradition behind with this cultural dance."
