IRISH WRITER SAYS THAT ALL BLACK HAKA WAS “OVERDONE” AND GAVE THEM AN ADVANTAGE.

An Irish rugby columnist has come out firing at the All Blacks and the haka, saying the traditional Māori challenge is "overdone" and gives the defending world champions an "unfair advantage".

Ewan MacKenna penned his angst in a column fo Pundit Arena, titling the opinion piece, 'Haka gives New Zealand an unfair advantage and needs to stop'.

In the column, MacKenna says the haka has been "ruthlessly exploited and commercialized and ultimately cheapened". He demanded World Rugby stop "pandering to the dance".
