Steve Gordon: former All Black on the controversy surrounding the team's haka at Ellis Park

View descriptionShare

There were a few raised eyebrows as the All Blacks' pre-match haka was drowned out at Johannesburg’s Ellis Park.

The team's rendition of Kapa O Pango was interrupted by chanting - and music, pyrotechnics and a flyover from an Emirates Airlines A380 jet.
