71% of more than 16,000 votes wanted the musical instrument ban withdrawn. Many New Zealanders are very proud of their Scotish heritage including All Black captain Richie McCaw who also plays the Bagpipes. Many disappointed Scotish tourist brought their Bagpipes to the other side of the world only to be told they couldn't use them at the games. RWC spokesman Mike Jaspers said Bagpipes were not specifically banned from stadiums. He was not aware of any cases where a fan with Bagpipes had been refused entry to a Cup match.

Harry's homework
Abbys 26.10.11 homework
All Black captain Richie McCaw will play through the pain barrier, but faces foot surgery after the Rugby World Cup campaign. McCaw's season has been hampered since he was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his right foot in February. He had surgery and missed the first two months of the Super 15 season.
Mid-series, McCaw had more troubles and the problem has flared up again recently with the loose forward on a restricted practice workload.
Those who move in circles close to the team say McCaw will play the rest of the tournament, regardless of his discomfort. He will get by on treatment, painkillers and willpower, but may need another operation once the All Blacks end their campaign.
McCaw is even more determined to survive and lead his team after the shock exit of first five-eighths Daniel Carter with a wriped tendon in his groin.
Just hours before that training ground accident in Wellington, McCaw had withdrawn from the All Blacks' last pool game against Canada because of ongoing soreness in his foot. thats sad . another person had to replace Dan .
by Abby
1. The All Blacks proved their collective expertise.
2. The coaching staff had delivered there gratitude to their sporting fans.
3. When captain Richie McCaw raised the cup the crowd of 61,000 and a nation of 4 million supporters.
4. France had given them a greater scare then anyone imagined.
5. The All Blacks are world cup champions.
