One of the best for sure.

The Russian one for me is the best for me though. Such as gloriously, stirring piece of music!

I love the Welsh one, especially at a packed home Welsh rugby game.


I dislike the Welsh team, but I love their anthem.

Flower of Scotland, great to see Princess Ann at the rugby sing about her ancestor getting his ass kicked, great Scottish Rebel song.

I love the Welsh one,

Wonderful and my favourite.
Only time I switch to a rubby programme is to hear "My hen wlad..." being blasted out.
I change channels immediately then of course :D

+1, Flower of Scotland before their Football/ Rugby games is one of the best things I've ever seen, unreal.

The rugby ones are ok (except Ireland's call).
France's one was belted out during the attacks last weekend - that was impressive
The South African one isn't bad

And Cuil Aodha's parish anthem is class

Don't mind Wales either apart from Gatland's sourness.
Some of my favourite all time players are still Welch players from the 70s. Edwards, John,  Bennett, JPR, Davies

Lets face it lads and lassies, politics aside it's hard to bate the American National Anthem, especially when the boul Whitney belted it out.

Not a fan of it, Stew.  Too hard to sing.  Would prefer Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land."

Not a fan either, although Hendrix made it seem interesting.
