Tunes for 'Team GB' (Rugby Sevens) ?
This weekend is Rugby Sevens in Southern California.
For several years when they were held in Las Vegas I attended, supporting Scotland.
I had my pipes, I played up in the stands. I was advised by the guy in charge of the piping at Murrayfield to play Flower of Scotland and Highland Cathedral at the beginning of a match, then Scotland the Brave at each Try.
Then I wasn't able to attend for a few years. Now the venue has changed (much closer to me) but also the teams have changed!
No longer are there separate Scotland, England, and Wales Sevens teams. Now it's "Team GB".
What would a piper play? God Save the King at the start? That plus Flower of Scotland? (Seems there are four Scottish players.)
This Great Britain thing has put me off.
