World Rugby have handed England a ‘significant four figure fine’ for their response to the Haka and been warned as to their future can uct whereby if a similar incident takes place within 24 months they will face further sanctions.

£2,000 being reported.

Steve Hansen said he thought England's response to the haka was "fantastic", adding: "They didn't get fined for responding, they got fined because they went over halfway.

"If you understand the haka then it requires a response. It's a challenge to you personally and it requires you to have a response. I thought it was brilliant - quite imaginative too."

England expecting a hefty fine and a warning to their future conduct for breaching ‘cultural ritual protocol’.

Basically you don't cross the half way line and neither do they.

Worth reading for the DM readers who get their knickers in a twist.
