Do you like singing along with the teams' anthems?

IRELAND v SCOTLAND ~ THE ANTHEMS

Ireland has 2 Anthems ~ The Anthem of the Irish Republic (A Soldiers Song) and The Anthem of the IRU (Ireland's Call)
Probably only Ireland's Call will be sung today

ANTHEM OF THE IRU
(Uniting the North & South of Ireland)

IRELAND’S CALL
( Matchday Version)

Come the day and come the hour
Come the power and the glory
We have come to answer
Our Country's call
From the four proud provinces of Ireland
Ireland, Ireland
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We'll answer Ireland's call

Ireland, Ireland
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We’ll answer Ireland’s Call
WE’LL ANSWER IRELAND’S CALL!



O FLOWER OF SCOTLAND (Match-day Version)

O flower of Scotland
When will we see your like again?
That fought and died for
Your wee bit hill and glen
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again


Those days are passed now
And in the past they must remain
But we can still rise now
And be the nation again
That stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

THE MEN ARE OUT ON THE FIELD FOR THEIR BIG MATCH

The Opening game for both Ireland and Scotland for the RWC 2019

IRELAND FIRST .... IRELAND'S CALL

O FLOWER OF SCOTLAND NOW

I love both these anthems

Scottish players looking rightly moved

I SHALL BE NEUTRAL TODAY FOR THESE TWO PROUD TEAMS :-)
