IRELAND v GEORGIA ~ THE ANTHEMS

First, the visiting team....
GEORGIA (English Official Translation)

TAVISUPLEBA (FREEDOM)

Our icon is the homeland
Trust in God is our creed,
Enlightened land of plains and mounts,
Blessed by God and holy heaven.
The freedom we have learnt to follow
Makes our future spirits stronger,
Morning star will rise above us
And lightens up the land between the two seas.
Glory to long-cherished freedom,
Glory to liberty!


Then the home team.....

ANTHEM OF THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND

A SOLDIER’S SONG
We'll sing a song, a soldier's song,
With cheering rousing chorus,
As round our blazing fires we throng,
The starry heavens o'er us;
Impatient for the coming fight,
And as we wait the morning's light,
Here in the silence of the night,
We'll chant a soldier's song.

Chorus:
Soldiers are we
whose lives are pledged to Ireland;
Some have come
from a land beyond the wave.
Sworn to be free,
No more our ancient sire land
Shall shelter the despot or the slave.
Tonight we man the gap of danger
In Erin's cause, come woe or weal
"Mid cannons" roar and rifles peal,
We'll chant a soldier's song.


ANTHEM OF IRELAND RUGBY UNION
(Uniting the North & South of Ireland)

IRELAND’S CALL
( Matchday Version)

Come the day and come the hour
Come the power and the glory
We have come to answer
Our Country's call
From the four proud provinces of Ireland
Ireland, Ireland
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We'll answer Ireland's call

Ireland, Ireland
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We’ll answer Ireland’s Call
WE’LL ANSWER IRELAND’S CALL!

Today's broadcast comes to you this afternoon from Radio Jem's upstairs studio as OH is watching his beloved MAN U downstairs :-D :-D :-D

Hoping to last the course as I did not sleep 1 wink last night :-0

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Elizabeth :-D <3

Hiya Jem :-D <3 :-(

THE FLY IS PITCHSIDE EVERYONE :-D :-D <3 <3

Sorry I missed Elizabeth's post overleaf <3 <3

THE TEAMS ARE OUT

A minute's silence for the sad loss of France's CHRISTOPHE DOMINICI this week :-(

RIP CHRISTOPHE <3

HERE COME THE ANTHEMS

Georgia First
TAVISUPLEBA (FREEDOM)

NOW IRELAND'S TWO

First A Soldier's Song followed by Ireland's Call

Difficult one for me today .....

DO I CHEER FOR OH's HOME NATION - IRELAND?
of which I have inherited 15% DNA according to Ancestry!

OR .... DO I TACTICALLY BACK GEORGIA?
As Ireland has the same amount of points on the Pool Table as Wales but are just ahead of them on Points Difference? :-0

It would mean the difference between WALES fighting it out for 3rd PLACE in the Nations Cup 2020 on Finals Weekend next weekend, or battling for 5th PLACE


NOW .... WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK I SHOULD DO?

WHAT WILL I DO? ;-)

Ireland's Coach ANDY FARRELL (Dad of Owen Farrell England) has made a lot of changes to the Ireland side today as have Georgia.

And we are away

COME ON IRELAND

Ireland in Black with Green trim today and Georgia in a Purple Maroon

Conor Murray suits the new Ireland colours :-D

Pretty colour for the Georgia Boys ;-)

Ireland have a lineout and they are trying to drive

Ball is out but McClusky knocked on

Yes it is, but I'm rather liking the Irish strip :-D

SCRUM GEORGIA .... It's down and is being reset
