Rugby: English prop asks for binning of All Blacks’ Haka

# Rugby: English prop Joe Marler has drawn the ire of All Blacks supporters by calling for the binning of the historical Haka. England faces New Zealand at Twickenham on Saturday. Marler calls the traditional Maori war dance dating from 1905 “ridiculous”, saying it’s only any good when teams actually front it with some sort of reply. The Springboks said during this year’s Rugby Championship Tests against the All Blacks that they always respect the Haka. England has won just eight of their 45 Tests against the All Blacks.
