Thanks for posting this. Brilliant. I tuned in too late and missed the playing of the Irish Rugby Anthem on Saturday night. I agree with val75dub 100%
all sporting events should have an anthem but not the national anthem of the country. Sporting events should not be affiliated to politics,race or religion but on the efforts of those participating and the like minded people who come to watch and enjoy.
Well this certainly silenced the moaning minnies and one-eyed bigots who don't want to recognise how this unites two separate legislatures with their own parliaments and traditions. What a rendition! Fantastic. The team really did answer Ireland's Call both from the Republic of Ireland and from Northern Ireland! Certainly not a national anthem - but tne what we would we think if God Save the Queen and Amhrán na bhFiann were played to recognise the two countries, united in one rugby team?

@VAL75DUB disagree. How else would a team identify themselves and the country they represent without an anthem?
