    That bloody band!!

    Still not learned the pace of our National Anthem? Do they always have a train to catch or what?

    Infuriating.

    At least there wasn't some bimbo singing like a scraggly cat like in egg internationals.

    Funny though listening to the fans trying to reach that final high note.

    Agreed. The song should be enjoyed, hang on the words and sing with passion. Not rushed out like you can't wait to get it over with

    I thought the young lads playing under the Canton before the game were really good. Thoroughly enjoyed my pre match pints.

    Our national anthem is shit really, always has been.

    Maybe, if your world revolves around the local pub in Llanbobl

    And so desperate attempt to be controversial no. 2.589.034 fades away into distance having barely been noticed.

    It really isn't, do some travelling and hear other countries sing theres and you will see ours is very tepid in comparison in a language that isn't spoken by 80% of the population.

    In the six nations I rank ours 5th (in front of the awful god save the queen). The others are far more stirring than ours.

    Name the ones you rate so much?

    In France over the summer we had fans of all nationalities commenting on our Anthem and how great it is.

    Ye I was there.

    I was there for 2005, 2008 and 2012 grand slams. And THE 33-3 England whooping.

    Wales Belgium was decent but it isn't close.

    No where near as good in fact.

    France, Italy, Ireland, Scotland, Australia, USA, Brazil for starters. Land of my fathers just doesn't do it for me.

    Guessing you'd rather the Welsh national anthem were in English? Not in "blob"

    Well like it or not they were very highly thought of in Euro 2016 by the hosts and were reported as a credit to the Nation.
    I don't suppose that goes down too well with an 'egg' fan.
    Perhaps you should note the name change to your rugby stadium too-but thank you no we have no wish to play on a rugger pitch- our team have said they wish to remain at the CCS.

    A lot of people outside Wales think it's a fantastic anthem.

    I disagree. I have seen Wales a number of times at the then called Millennium Stadium and found the atmosphere disappointing. I think the CCS is more hostile for the opposition.

    Some other decent anthems there, but the Aussie one reminds me of something out of Grease.

    Each to their own I guess, but I think you are in the minority of thinking the the Welsh one is rubbish.

    I don't think I have ever met an "egg" fan that looks at football as a negative.

    Only bitter football fans cry over coverage.

    When rugby brings so much to the city.

    And the last time wales played at the millenium, england wasn't it?. I saw more fighting in one day than I've seen at the rugby in 10.

    I sing it as passionately as the next Welshman but I just think all the others sound far more stirring.
