“All Blacks Fueled by Marler’s Haka Controversy Ahead of England Clash”

**Marler’s Dismissive Haka Comment Fuels All Blacks' Motivation** New Zealand's rugby squad is brimming with motivation ahead of their clash with England, feeling a sense of disrespect that could lead to a fierce response on the field. As teams prepare for a significant match against the All Blacks, there are various strategies they might employ. However, England's approach this week—actively provoking the All Blacks—seems to be a less conventional choice. Joe Marler's recent tweet, in which he described the haka as “ridiculous” and suggested it should be “binned,” has not been well received in New Zealand. All Blacks head coach Scott Robertson expressed his disappointment, stating, “I’m wondering if he wishes he could have articulated himself a little bit better. The haka is not just about the All Blacks; it represents New Zealand as a country and holds great significance for us.” Robertson noted that he didn’t need to plaster Marler’s comments on the dressing room wall, as social media had already ensured that his players were well aware of the situation. “The boys are aware of it,” he said, adding that while he didn’t want to claim they would use it as motivation, they would certainly discuss how to address it “respectfully.” His comments drew a humorous comparison to a team preparing to face a formidable opponent, likening it to how white tigers might strategize against Siegfried & Roy. As the All Blacks gear up for the match, it’s clear that Marler’s remarks have added an extra layer of incentive for the team.
