The British and Irish Lions are upset by music blasts being played during the test series and are set to raise the issue with New Zealand Rugby. The London Daily Telegraph has reported that the Lions believe there was playing of music at "inappropriate times" during the first test defeat at the hands of the All Blacks at Eden Park. The news outlet added the Lions were also "unhappy" that music was played during a penalty attempt by Dan Biggar during the draw with the Hurricanes in Wellington on Tuesday. But Nigel Cass, the general manager of the Lions series, defended the use of the new song which is designed to liven up traditionally quiet New Zealand supporters. "Tūtira Mai is an iconic Kiwi song that's been given a new lease of life at All Blacks and other matches at the DHL NZ Lions Series," Cass told the Telegraph.
