Tonga captain Finau Maka has delivered a message to World Cup officials that he doesn’t want his team’s Sipi Tau performed at the same time as the All Blacks haka on Friday night.
Usual World Cup protocol is that when two teams have ceremonial dances before a Test they are done at the same time.
However, Maka wants to see the All Blacks perform their challenge first at Eden Park and then Tonga have their turn.
On the game itself, Maka said his boys will approach the game with a lot of respect for the All Blacks although many are looking at a very physical showdown on Friday night.
