Why the hell did he need to apologise? That bothers me.

Save that for the grumpy old men thread.
We new age they/thems demand apologies for even potential offence caused by Marlers white privilege. And with that apology I want reparations. Marler should use his standing and get on board with real clicktivism

@scribe Joe likes to pretend he's a hard man, but did he ever play on with one testicle torn open and hanging loose?

Apparently, of the 13 most popular videos on World Rugby's YouTube channel, 10 are hakas.

And the four most popular videos on the All Blacks YouTube channel are hakas:
And the four most popular videos on the All Balxks YouTube channel are hakas:
Careful, you nearly spelt that the All Balls YouTube Channel...
We don't want any of those professional media types trawling this site reveal any hawt Polish identitites..

You could say that about Bakkies Botha, Brad Thorn and Martin Johnson too.
Thereās only one Buck.

Marler just blew his post playing career
Pussy
@MiketheSnow My guess is that someone very senior within the RFU or the England team set-up told him to apologise.
It would be slightly happier times if most people were allowed to say what they think and well-intention folk saved their anger for the actual evil and nasty shit in the world.

I had a ridiculous discussion with a Leeds Rhinos bloke where said League friend insisted, absolutely insisted, that League players were much, much harder men than Union.
I sent him a 2-word text: Buck Nantes

Having watched and played both codes, both codes have their tough, tough men.

A few years ago I was in a long slow queue to get into Twix. All the fans around me were worried about missing the haka.
3 years ago I was in hospitality at Twickenham. It was unanimous at ours and other tables about looking forward to seeing the haka.
Everybody is welcome to their opinion. But facts are facts, the large majority want to see it.
I donāt care for it myself and think the critics have valid points. But they donāt speak for the masses.

Surprised this one only has 265k views. One of the all time greats

Marler got some very real threats apparently which is why he backed down.
Disappointing to hear.

That's quite pathetic on the part of the people whose arses are chapped
'I'm offended', so fucking what

Different games with different skill sets - and in NZ's case, different haka.

@MajorRage ANYTHING said against the Haka or any aspect of Maori culture is called out on social media as racist or disrespectful...everyone, everywhere apparently is meant to know what it means in Maori culture, while at the same time, not to use it inappropriately, even if you think it is for good.
