England reportedly fined by World Rugby for response to All Blacks haka before RWC semi final match

England's players form a V around the All Blacks' haka ahead of their Rugby World Cup semifinal in Yokohama.

England have reportedly been fined by World Rugby for their response to the All Blacks' haka before last Saturday's Rugby World Cup semi-final.

The Guardian reports England has been fined a four-figure sum for breaching World Rugby regulations, which say opponents must not cross the halfway line while the challenge is being performed. At least six England players could be seen in television coverage breaking that rule.

The Guardian added the fine is less than the one France received in the 2011 Rugby World Cup final.

They were made to pay NZ$5000 for their V-shaped formation, which also went over the halfway line.
