Joe Marler has called for the haka to be scrapped ahead of Saturday’s clash with New Zealand as it emerged the veteran prop has left England camp for personal reasons.
Marler baited the All Blacks ahead of the autumn opener at Allianz Stadium by writing on social media site X on Tuesday night that “The haka needs binning.
It’s ridiculous.” The 34-year-old prop then added: “It’s only any good when teams actually front it with some sort of reply.
Like the league boys did last week.” The Haka needs binning. It’s ridiculous. — Joe Marler (@JoeMarler) October 29, 2024 He subsequently deactivated his account, only for it to return on Wednesday accompanied by a new post clarifying his views.
