World Rugby could fine England for haka response

England should shove any fine up the appropriate bottoms

If there is a fine I think the England fans should crowdfund a
response and send it to the RFU

As far as I know there is no proper response to the Haka only
the one IRB/World Rugby came up with for rugby.
If it's so "cultural" why don't all the New Zealand sports teams
do a Haka before every International match/game.
It's their tradition not everyone else's!

I know their basketball team do a Haka, as do the RL team and
the womens RU team. It wouldn't surprise me if the football team
do as well. I understand that hakas are performed at lower level
club games as well.

If it’s only £2;500 it will be worth every penny.

Agreed
England should say they were offended by the aggressive Haka and
demand compensation for counselling for the players

A world in which some are offended by just everything. I was in
the pub with some NZ fans who were not remotely offended and nor
should they be. They did not cry or run to a safe space they
loved the English response.
I wonder what these serial offendees will do when they have a
real problem to deal with.

One Andrew Merthens previously of this parish was on the radio
saying how great he thought the response was. He said that no
New Zealand player should be offended by it, the haka is a
challenge.

Ain't it more of a fine for not losing as usual, however if
they'd done the actions from "swing low" maybe that would be
disrespectful.

I haven't read anything about anyone being offended by it.
Everyone knows there's a rule about being behind the halfway
line so it's no surprise that the media is speculating that they
might be fined.
