What a cracking test match that was between both England and New Zealand today at the home of English rugby, at Twickenham Stadium in West London.

People weren’t happy with what fans did as Damian McKenzie went to take his kick at the death though .. See some of the comments below ..

Quarter final, Semi Final and Final Rugby World 2023. Handre Pollard and Stare de France crowd. All the time they made a noise when he wanted to kick. Live with it, people only respect their own kicker.

I love how every nation wears earbuds, when England go to kick and only point this out when Englands opposition kicks. I’m willing to bet it wasn’t even that loud, i’ve been to many England games and respect is always given.

Mate, go listen to NZ fans when kickers from other countries kick in NZ – especially in close games. Relax

Crowds will never understand the skill, composure, and confidence this takes to do. It’s immortal level execution. Under immense pressure, sideline, recently on as a sub, didn’t start the game. And to effectively win the game for his team.

  1. Is what it is, all fans will make a noise when the opposition is taking a kick, what was disrespectful was the English fans singing over top of the haka but I guess you have to expect that.

    1. I know many people dose not know what is respect, especially so called civilized western people ,especially sport game fans .They are just acting like an angry animal sometimes ,they don’t know nothing about universal rules ,cultural ancient roots which is a very strong bound between humans especially if you doing a very difficult thing like this rugby game,with this speed and attention ,very strong game like this, they are like superhuman. So some day all has to learn about energy , universal law all those things which are not visible ,like the energy which is rising and accumulating when there is a HAKA .I can feel it through the TV set ,its very strong ,the presence of the energy of the ancestors the presence of the energy of the universe they calling it when they are making this war dance ,the challenge.So please stop talking and start learning and start to give some respect .Thanks

      1. I knew that would be the typical Kiwi reaction. You lot are far too good sports and up for a challenge to get your knickers in a knot over this. All supporters do this when the opposition are kicking for poles.

        1. What I find upsetting about this is not that the English fans sang but that they sang an American song that was spiritual to their African Slaves!

          1. That upsets you? Seriously? What are you doing on a rugby forum? Wouldn’t you be less triggered watching tennis?

        2. Nah this comment not a Kiwi mate. We’re all good with it. Expect it even. Wee not a crowd of angels down here mate. This is just media pot stirring. I love any fan of rugby from any country. Rugby first eh. BS second. Cheers bro.

    6. No Dean. Proper fans at Premiership and lower league matches don’t make a noise when the opposition are taking a kick. They do respect the kicker and they don’t need advertising boards around the stadium to remind them. International matches tend to attract a lot of people who go along just to get drunk. I do agree with you about the Haka though. It’s a bit of theatre we should just enjoy.

      1. Yes sorry Les I was talking about international games and yes there are a lot of people who just go to get drunk.

    7. There are ignorant to what it means. It’s our team respecting the opposition. The AB’s developed their own special one for opposition they wanted to respect more because they had lost to them

    8. If a 10 can’t take a kick with some crowd noise he shouldn’t be there & he wasn’t put off anyway. As for the Haka – If the Black Caps wish to issue a challenge in a threatening way then there’s nothing wrong with the other side not acknowledging it, ignoring it or the fans singing over it. I live in NZ & love to see the Haka but don’t believe other countries need to stand there and take it all.

  2. Why is it disrespectfully the haka is a challenge them singing is just a challenge back in return they are allowed to change the haka personally I think it’s time to do away with it

    1. If you watch a game between two pacific nations one lays down the challenge while the other respectfully watches then they reply with their challenge while they too respectfully watch, maybe if England wants to reply with a challenge the players should sing swing low before or after the Haka and our Haka has been around long before you and I my friend and will be around long after we’re gone. We must be a special people because a lot of people feel threatened with our beautiful Haka.

    2. I think youare right. It’s two faced. I am English but live in and support NZ in all sports. I used to love the theatre of the Haka but now I understand it I believe it is wrong. It conflicts with some many things. For a start it’s a war dance and it’s threatening my tram the Crusaders had yo change their logo because it hailed back to the crusades of yesteryear what’s the difference?

      1. Traditionally it was a war dance but now used as a challenge and expression of cultural identity and celebration. Google Haka in NZ Parliament for example.

      2. If you are living here in Aotearoa New Zealand you are so very wrong and have not been taught properly I am Maori my whanau/family have our own Haka… when my beautiful mum passed we performed our Haka to show our love respect honor sadness…it showed unity collectively brothers nephews sisters nieces cousins uncles aunties etc… expressing through culture their everything to our most respected our mother… it’s such an honor to perform our Haka to the country we are to play I sincerely pray that you are taken in by one of our whanau and you get to learn first hand go well brother arohanui

    3. When you get your ass kicked from the All Blacks all the time then of course you want to do away with the Haka….. you idiot 🖕🏾

    4. It’s also a different scenario as the haka has nothing to do with the match. It’s just a bit of pre match nonsense

    5. They’re singing a slave song. Colonists who haven’t evolved. Disrespectful, ignorant and need education – all those who sang.

    6. Can someone explain the History Behind swing low. I thought it was a song sung by Slaves in the Days of British Rule?

    7. Graeme, If you are talking about doing away with the Haka, you are being a bit TOOOOO much British and that is precisely the reason it should Stay…..SAD….

    8. So should Fiji, Tonga and Samoa do away with theirs? Or is it just the All Blacks?
      The haka is a New Zealand tradition and it will never end. Best you get used to it.
      If you do want to issue your own English challenge, you could always have your players do a Morris dance.

    12. Graeme. The Haka is a challenge to the opposing team, NOT the fans. The opposition stand and respect the challenge. So therefore should the fans.

    13. It’s pretty hard to do away with a cultural Haka that’s been performed for well over 60 years .. admittingly and thankfully our performance has greatly improved…as a Maori I have always loved how our “All Blacks”represent unitedly Maori Pakeha European descent pacific islands Samoan Fijian Tongan etc …our little country have been great examples of what can happen when we respect one another and come together as many different colors and play as one people… Respecting “te tangata whenua” “the People of the Land” Maori, by performing a Haka we respect all countries that play Rugby 🖤🤙🏽

    14. I think the Haka should be kept for big important occasions not a game jammed in as a money spinner. It can become like an overplayed song on the radio, Africa by toto still makes me want to be violent to kittens.

  4. It’s disgusting the way so called fans boo and whistle while a kick is being taken. Unfortunately it’s every game. In my opinion it makes the kicker more determined to get it. Surely it’s more pressure when it’s quiet.

  6. When players are taking a kick at Waikato Stadium the crowd ring cowbells and make as much noise to distract the kicker. It’s embarrassing but nothing new to Damian McKenzie. I’m a Chiefs supporter.

  7. i’m Irish …. listen to the quiet next friday when NZ are taking a kick in Landsdown (Avia) ……. lol sometimes i think it puts off the kicker lol…… and in relation to the english rugby fan’s … some of them are becoming more like english soccer fans , unfortunately……

  9. Watch the game ABs v Ireland, Haka and kicks at goal all in Silence. Respect something the Poms Lack. gc

  12. The best way to fire up an All Black is to disrespect the Haka.
    Doesn’t matter if it’s the opposing team or an entire stadium.
    Numbers mean nothing to people with Mana.

  13. Thats what I was thinking – skip around waving hankies in the air and such. My biggest fear is if they start throwing themselves on the ground and rolling around in agony every time their feelings get hurt or they are a bit scared.
