[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 778516, member: 34990"] Aye, but when the opening lines are: And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon [B]England[/B]’s mountains green? And was the holy Lamb of God On [B]England[/B]’s pleasant pastures seen? It makes sense :p I've always been a big fan of Rule Britannia, for what it's worth - Don't think it'd work as an anthem (bar the chorus), but it's a belter at the last night of the proms :p I'm also a big fan of I Vow To Thee. Certainly gets the emotions going: [media=youtube]87Xkr8z3lEo[/media] Jerusalem would be a great fit, and probably get my vote. Also feels it's quite a "rugby" song as well (I know this isn't just a rugby issue, but still). Heard it belted out at a rugby funeral and it's something special. [/QUOTE]
