Prop closed X social media account after backlashRFU have declined to comment on player’s post
Joe Marler has added extra spice to England’s clash with New Zealand on Saturday by claiming the pre-match haka should be scrapped.
Writing on the social media site X, veteran prop Marler said: “The haka needs binning. It’s ridiculous.” The 34-year-old then added: “It’s only any good when teams actually front it with some sort of reply. Like the league boys did last week.”
