According to a statement, the captain of the All Blacks rugby team that is Sam Cane can be seen placing a black jersey on the field before the Haka dance was performed. The particular black jersey has the number 10 with Maradona’s name written on it.
Sam Cane stated that they really wanted to give their final respect towards the legendary Maradona.
