Lone Welsh fan belts out anthem at Stade de France


We are mid 6 Nations Rugby matches (England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, France, and Italy).

I just love this sole Welshman singing the Welsh anthem amongst a whole crowd of French supporters.

Had this been a Football match he'd have been torn to shreds, but Rugby fans always remain friends with the opposition, and stand side by side as spectators. 

It is always said that Football is a gentlemen's game played by hooligans, and Rugby is a hooligans game played by gentlemen. I think that applies to their supporters too.

Wales play Ireland tomorrow. Not an easy match, they'll need a lot of singing.

I will (of course) be rooting for Wales!!!

  1. Brilliant. I love it when the crowd sing ….. another that gives me shivers up my back is when Liverpool fans sing ‘ You’ll never walk alone ‘ XXXX

    1. There'll be plenty of singing on Saturday, and I'm sure the man above will be amongst them.

    1. My mother had Welsh roots, and I believe I am 44% Welsh. So, I am divided between supporting England, Wales, and France. Never the other three.

    1. I'm not sure when it was, so I can't check. But I'm sure they did after that wonderful singing.

  4. The Welsh national anthem is even better than the French one. I wish that England had an equally rousing national anthem. Score prediction: Wales 8 Ireland 42.

    1. Frankly it'd be a miracle if Wales won, but I live in hope.
