The Lyrics to sing along when the time comes...

O FLOWER OF SCOTLAND

O flower of Scotland
When will we see your like again
That fought and died for
Your wee bit hill and glen
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

The hills are bare now
And autumn leaves lie thick and still
O'er land that is lost now
Which those so dearly held
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

Those days are passed now
And in the past they must remain
But we can still rise now
And be the nation again
That stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again


Usually, just the first verse and last verse are sung

I don't think we have Japanese GR Members (Unless you tell me otherwise of course!), so I will forego the words of the Japanese Anthem

Stuart Hogg plays Full Back for Scotland today!

SO HERE'S A TRIBUTE TO STUART HOGG

The commentator of the channel from that clip said the game was in "3 minutes of injury time"

This was incorrect of course.

You don't have "injury time" in Rugby Union games. This is because the referee stops the clock whenever there is an incident of any kind, including injury.

It was actually 4 minutes after the CLOCK WENT RED that the Janaese scored their victorious TRY.

In Rugby Union, after the clock goes red, the game is not over until the ball goes out of play.
If the team in the lead at this time get possession of the ball, they will usually kick it out, the game's over and they've won!

If the team that is not in the lead have the ball when the Clock has gone red, and they have a chance of scoring to win, they will keep hold of possession for all their might!

This is what happened in the South Africa v Japan game at the weekend!

WHEN JAPAN BEAT THE SPRINGBOKS!

THEIR 84th MINUTE TRY
