After Joe Marler’s statements at the start of the week, the New Zealanders’ haka was scrutinized by observers. And as usual, the English supporters sang their traditional swing low, sweet charriot song during the war dance.
This is the first fuse that was lit before this highly anticipated England – New Zealand. The whimsical English pillar, Joe Marler, has cracked a controversial tweet in which he expresses his dissatisfaction with the dance of Maori origin: “The haka must be removed. It’s ridiculous.” Since then the Harlequins player has apologized, but the controversy has grown to the point of reaching the New Zealand government which responded to the international’s comments.

A haka covered by chants
The reaction of the All Blacks and the behavior of the English before the match played this Saturday were therefore scrutinized by observers. In the end, the traditional Maori rite gave rise to a great moment of tension, with the players of the XV de la Rose who advanced to the halfway line, which they cannot cross according to the arrangements made by World Rugby .
In return the New Zealanders also came within a few centimeters of their opponent of the day. But it was the Twickenham stands who responded in their own way, with their iconic chant, the Swing low, sweet charriot which covered the performance of Codie Taylor’s teammates.
