To think that the Welsh national anthem is one of the best in the world?

Not that im biased or anything...

But I really do think we have one of the best anthem's in the world, and its genuinely on a par with Stars and Stripes, Russia, France and Germany etc. Its rousing, sends tingles down your spine and am even though im not a massively patriotic it instills a real sense of pride in me. Which is what an anthem SHOULD do.

The dirge God Save the Queen isnt even comparible IMO. When the Queen goes the UK (if it still exists lol) really need to get a better anthem!

The anthem played for Ireland at the Rugby World Cup isn't the Irish National Anthem.
Because unlike the Irish soccer team, the Irish rugby team has players from both Northern Ireland ( part of the UK ) and the Republic of Ireland ( independent ).
The Irish National Anthem is very nationalistic and would not be sung by players from a Unionist tradition - NI players - so a compromise was made by getting Phil Coulter to write Ireland's Call.

I meant to add- the Irish National Anthem is sung in Gaelic and the NI players on the Irish rugby team don't usually learn the Irish language in school.

@beanaseireann ah, ok. I like the rugby one.

Here in Oz we have a horrible national anthem about being girt by sea blah blah.
