General Chat

RIP the great JJ Williams.

I don't watch Rugby these days, but used to love watching the '5 Nations' in the 70s and 80s.

Lovely to see you posting here Sheila :-)

Yes, it's a great shame. Rugby was brilliant in those days, especially in the 70s <3

WALES v SCOTLAND ~ THE ANTHEMS FOR THE SING-A-LONG

First the visiting nation ....

SCOTLAND

O FLOWER OF SCOTLAND
Match-day Version

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


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

Next the Home Nation


WALES <3

MAE HEN WLAD FY NHADAU (Match Version)

Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mad,
Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed

Gwlad, gwlad,
pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.
Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.

Gwlad, gwlad,
pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.
Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.
