Scott Barrett Responds to Joe Marler's Haka Comments
Ahead of the rugby Test match between England and New Zealand, All Blacks captain Scott Barrett responded to Joe Marler's controversial comments suggesting the haka should be 'binned', labeling them as having 'loaded the gun'. Marler's remarks, which he later apologized for, have stirred tension, but Barrett emphasized that the haka is a vital part of New Zealand's identity and rugby culture. He downplayed the idea that Marler's words would provide extra motivation for his team, stating they are already keen to perform well against England, who are eager to prove themselves after a long break from international play. Barrett acknowledged England's strengths and the significance of controlling the breakdown during the match. The All Blacks are preparing to face a determined English side that has not played since their last encounter in July.
