I'm a die hard metalhead, but this song is simply beaut! I'm French/Australian, and yet I see and admire the power in all teams, even the one's with which les bleus or the wallabies have the biggest rivalries with: All Blacks, Springboks, the Rose squad, the welsh, everyone
Three things that make us Welsh famous: 1. The sheep 2. The Singers (As demonstrated by 4 welsh singers in this video) 3. And our Rugby.... Cymru Am Byth!!
This song makes me feel so proud, I'm from England and yes we didn't win the rugby but who cares! I love this song as it is all about coming together as one and enjoying the game! it doesn't matter who wins or looses we should all come together. Brilliant song almost addressing one of the most important problems of our time, racism which keeps us apart. Listening to this song not only gives me goosebumps but also reminds me that we should all stand together as one instead of fighting.
Having lived in both NZ and Australia ive been lucky enough to see two of the best teams play many times over the years. From day one with my father, holding onto his jersey so i dont get lost, being awed at so many people in the same place cheering for the same thing , the lights, the smell of the pitch ect, amazing to a 6 yr old boy. Ive now had the pleasure of taking my own son to his first game, spent most of the time watching him discover the same things i did all those years ago. I love it
awww neat version....this song moves me. I love it when rugby players and fans from around the world put their personal feelings aside and throw out their love of their nation and the game.
This is favourite version because it seems to be the one closest to the spirit of the song with singers from multiple countries rather than a soloist from the host nation.
I'm a fan of rugby. By that I mean that I go and watch as many Scotland matches as possible, i.e. attend as many six nations and autumn internationals as I can afford, and occasionally go and watch Glasgow play when I'm back (last week I was the Leinster match). Until last year I was also a season ticket holder at Newcastle United. The difference between the atmosphere at the two sports is unbelievable. At the rugby, you barely get more than polite applause even at a try or final whistle...
This song is breathtaking! This post is for all of the singers out there....I am an Alto through and through and we are always in the background. It was great to hear us in the 'spotlight', so to speak. Can't take anything away for the sopranos here...your part was KILLER! Loved it~
“Sport has the power to change the world,” Mandela said. “It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than government in breaking down racial barriers Nelson Mandela p.s. HE LOVED RUGBY!!!
@Tony Cole Ignorant git, when did he ever say that. Mandela spoke to white folk throughout his life and even won over his white prison wardens. Take you stupidity elsewhere.
I love this song. This song shows that the world comes together even if there is rivalries. Sporting rivalries should be fun. Im a true All Black fan but during the world cup I was cheering for other teams as well.
this song is beautiful. Such a lovely song, and I only stumbled upon it trying to find out where I recognised part of Holst's 'Jupiter: The bringer of Jollity' from...
