All Blacks demand respect for the Haka

Graham Henry has urged England to respect the Haka at Twickenham on Saturday, with New Zealand centre Ma'a Nonu warning failure to do so would be ill-advised.

The Wales team's response to the Haka last weekend was to eye-ball the All Blacks for at least a minute. And even though his team beat the Welsh 29-9, Henry hopes England will refrain from a similar challenge.

"We don't need that every week," he said. "It was interesting at the time but it's time to move on and be more sensible."

Nonu says he found the Welsh response provocative, and used the anger to inspire himself during the game.

"What the Welsh did wound us up," admitted the centre. "Standing in the way they did is asking for a fight.

"If England want to do that they can but they'll probably get the same response."
