Pipe up Scotland

I am a Maori living in Turangi, New Zealand. We love our haka here before every rugby game involving the All Blacks.

We all support the right of the Scots to be able to hear the bagpipes played at the Rugby World Cup games for Scotland.

In fact, a poll this week in New Zealand showed that 71 per cent of Kiwis want the Scots to have their bagpipes at their games. We would love to hear them – and the haka – played. The RWC organisers are idiots for banning it. Go the mighty Scots when they play England shortly. I think at least 71 per cent of Kiwis will also be supporting Scotland for that game.
