New Zealand has acted to end the feud with England over 'Haka-gate'.
Kiwis stand-off Benji Marshall accused the England players of disrespect after they ignored the Haka before last Saturday's World Cup group match.
England coach Tony Smith responded by pointing the finger at the Kiwis for crossing the halfway line but today Marshall and coach Stephen Kearney attempted to draw a line under the controversy.
"A few of the boys felt there was a bit of disrespect but they have every right to do what they've done," said Marshall, who led the Kiwis in their 36-24 win over England in the absence of Nathan Cayless.
"If they want to do that again, that's fine."
For the recent game between Tonga and Samoa both teams were warned beforehand not the cross the halfway line during their separate Hakas in order to reduce the tension and Marshall said his team would abide by any similar ruling.
"If we're told not to, we won't be doing it," he said. "We are not ones to break rules.
"We want to be perceived by the public as a good, disciplined group so, if those are the rules, we won't be breaking them."
Kearney said: "That was the players' decision [to walk over halfway], it wasn't mine, and my point all along is I think it's been blown out of proportion.
"That's their right to do what they did and it was the players' choice to challenge that by doing what they did. I reckon enough has been said about it to be honest."
Kearney is set to ring the changes for Saturday's semi-final with England at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium.
Centre Steve Matai is ruled out with a neck injury and Cayless is set to return, while Kearney is pondering starting with hooker Issac Luke following his explosive impact from the bench in Newcastle.
Kearney is also anticipating a new-look England, adding: "I think there'll be a few changes from the weekend. Obviously they've got some good players to come back so we'll wait and see."
Marshall added: "We've got to expect the unexpected from them and just play what's in front of us. They will be coming out fired up, as will we. It's a big game for both of us."
