Spectacular powhiri planned for Lions at Waitangi
500 Maori warriors - some from as far away from Australia - will take part in a spectacular powhiri for the British and Irish Lions at Waitangi. There have been practice sessions from Kaitaia to Auckland and in Sydney for the official welcome on Sunday week. We talked to the Treaty Grounds' cultural manager, Mori Rapana, who is helping organise the powhiri.
