💨 Abstract

New Zealand coach Scott Robertson defended the team's pre-match haka after England prop Joe Marler criticized it and later apologized. Marler had said the haka was "ridiculous and needs binning." Robertson emphasized the haka's cultural significance to New Zealand and Pacific nations and said it was a great tradition of rugby. England captain Jamie George disagreed with Marler's comments, appreciating the haka's history and spectacle.
