England prop Joe Marler has deactivated his X account after posting that the haka "needs binning" before Saturday's match against New Zealand.
In rugby union, regulations prevent opposing teams crossing the halfway line while New Zealand are performing the Maori war dance.as they lined up in a V formation to face the haka before their Rugby World Cup semi-final match against New Zealand. The rule about not crossing the halfway line does not apply in rugby league, with responses and face-offs more common."It's only any good when teams actually front it with some sort of reply. Like the league boys did last week," Marler later added, before subsequently deleting his X account.
