Former All Black: Haka in front of Ireland in Chicago was ‘disrespectful’

"Knowing what that meant to the Irish team and the public, I thought pulling out the Kapa O Pango haka was disrespectful."

A former New Zealand player has criticised the All Black team for their choice of Haka when facing Ireland in Soldier Field on Saturday.

It was the first time the Ireland team had played since the death of Anthony Foley and prop Craig Dowd believes his former team should have reflected that in their choice.
