[QUOTE="Dai Perk, post: 943012, member: 78552"] Hey, my friends, So, I’m finally watching the ENG v NZ match from last Autumn (NBC chose not to broadcast that match, don’t get me started), and it’s my my first real experience hearing a packed stadium sing ‘Swing Low, Sweet Chariot”... Very moving, and very cool, especially when used as a defense against the Haka... But why that song? As an American, that song has VERY specific connotations, none of which can I possibly attach to rugby... What’s with that tradition? Thanks, y’all, just curious, Dave [/QUOTE]
