Tutira Mai - We are being encouraged to learn and sing Tutira Mai as a sports fan anthem to support New Zealand sports teams - especially starting with our teams playing agains the visiting United Kingdom Lions rugby team.   Other countries have songs that the spectators often sing  to encourage their teams, and ex-All Black (and current police officer) Glen Osborne is leading the promotion. Here's some background information on the the song and its composer, Canon Wiremu Te Tau Huata, MC, QSO, CBE (1917 - 1991), also known as Wi Huata.
