Why can't we do this?

[Scrumhalf]

Easily the best anthem in sports.... Why can't we do this here with the crowd singing instead of some dipshit who's there to promote his/her new album?

I'm not Welsh but this gives me goosebumps listening to 60,000 people sing the anthem. Also good to see Rob Howley there at scrumhalf. Great guy, classy, easily one of my favorite players at my position.

Our national anthem is a ridiculously difficult song to sing for most professional singers.

[Scrumhalf]

Yeah, but crowds do a decent job because when you a few thousand people singing, it blends out all the hard parts. Agreed that if you picked a random person to sing, it will sound like shit. The US soccer fans do it all the time.

Here are some good examples of the crowed singing our anthem. Sounds great, better than standing around eating nachos while some idiot puts his own twists on the song instead of just singing it straight like it's supposed to be.

I like the 2nd video - classy Canucks singing our anthem. Edmonton is such an awesome hockey town. Better than those dipshits in Toronto (paging Hitman.. :D) who booed our anthem.

True warrior nations sing their anthems at big international events.

Don't the French get someone else to sing for them??

[Scrumhalf]

Haha Frenchies.... close call between them and the Wallabies on who I want to see getting crushed at every possible opportunity, but I think th Froggies take it by a hair lol...

France is a glorious nation. I relate very well with those sophisticats. England is a bit stone age for my fine taste.
