After Joe Marler’s  Joe Marler has "loaded the gun" for the All Blacks ahead of Twickenham  rematch - Mirror OnlineHaka remarks earlier this week, All Blacks captain Scott Barrett acknowSportsledged that Marler had “loaded the gun” for them.

The England prop, who left the camp for personal reasons, fanned the flames when he called the Haka “ridiculous”; he has now recanted and rectified his remarks, but it still shook the visitors, who have responded.

When England and New Zealand play one other for the third time this year on Saturday afternoon, the conversation will come to an end. With their captain prepared to take his team out to do a job at Twickenham, the All Blacks appear to have gained more motivation from the English prop. Few people still regard them as the power they once were.

“He has most likely loaded the gun, hasn’t he?” he asked. I suppose opinions over the Haka and its location are always present. It has long been a part of the All Blacks and is very significant to us; we benefit greatly from it.”

“Whatever the team brings and you face, you love it,” he added when asked about a possible challenge to the Haka. “If they walk forward, it means they are up for the first whistle.” We know we are in for a good Test match if that occurs. We must appreciate what is ahead because we don’t need any more inspiration before we travel to Twickenham to play a team that would be thrilled to defeat us.”

New Zealand’s last trip to Twickenham ended in a 25–25 draw due to a late comeback by the home team. Since most of his teammates are experiencing the atmosphere for the first time, Barrett is aware that winning at headquarters is no small feat. Their most recent victory in the English capital occurred in 2018.

He stated: “We have mentioned the crowd, and it is not surprising what England brings.” I hope they don’t say as much as they can.

Since they played us in July, they haven’t played a Test match. They will want to shake that stone in their shoe with a strong performance because they have been carrying it for a while. We’ve discussed the dangers they present and gained some insight into how we should play.”A few members of the New Zealand team travelled to Arsenal to spend a day with the Premier League contenders in anticipation of the match this weekend. Although Barrett wasn’t there, many people had the opportunity to experience another high-performance setting.

When the team was last in England, the All Blacks lock quipped that he had visited Brentford and wasn’t planning on switching allegiances.

“It was a great experience for the guys who did go,” he stated. “I did not go on my own. Last year, I visited Brentford, and I won’t be going out to clubs. They had a great time on the outing. Attending Premiership clubs takes things to the next level.
