Springboks coach Erasmus says England's All Blacks haka challenge was not disrespectful

England has found an unlikely supporter of their All Blacks haka challenge in Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus who says it wasn't disrespectful.

In yet another Eddie Jones mind games masterclass, the England players formed a flying V formation around the All Blacks haka before beating them in the semi-final.

Speaking days before his side takes on England in the final, Erasmus has said he does not see England's "exciting" haka challenge as a "big issue".

He says he would not make a big issue out of it but it is not up to him to decide.

England will face South Africa in the final of the Rugby World Cup at 9pm on Saturday.
