VIDEO: All Blacks laugh off Haka parody

New Zealand’s players insist they are not upset by former England scrum-half Matt Dawson’s ’Hakarena’ video, poking fun at traditional war dance the Haka.

Political figures in New Zealand hit out at 2003 World Cup winner Dawson, suggesting his light-hearted video was ill-judged.

All Blacks hooker Keven Mealamu moved quickly to downplay the spat, however, claiming Steve Hansen’s squad — defending their 2011 title at the World Cup — see the funny side of Dawson’s video.
