IRELAND v SCOTLAND ~ THE ANTHEMS


1st The Visitors

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


2nd ... THE HOST COUNTRY ~ IRELAND

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 THE IRU
(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!

oooooooooooooooooo FLY .... I've just googled imaged CAELAN DORIS ;-) ;-)

I'm blindfolded today as I'm restricted to Radio Transmission, so only very limited commentary from me

Stuart Hogg kicks this important 3rd place game off for Scotland

IT'S HIS 80th SCOTLAND CAP TODAY <3

I'm neutral today ... as I'm very fond of the Scotland Team and my OH is Irish

I have 2% Scottish Genes and 15% Irish... with Cleary Ancestors who's origins were as kinsmen of the Kings of Connacht in the West of Ireland :-D

Penalty advantage for Ireland

Conor Murray has found touch but after the advantage was over so it's a Scottish Lineout

Penalty to Ireland for "Hands in the Ruck" by Scotland

It's kickable and here comes Johnny Sexton

Billy Burns is out of action today as he was injured v Georgia last week so Ross Byrne is on the Bench

But Ireland have their first choice kicker here today back from injury


HE MISSED :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0

SCOTLAND PENALTY

THEY ARE GOING FOR THE POST AND IT'S JACO VAN DER WALT

It hit the post

Scotland is playing penalty advantage.... and are now going back for it

It's kickable ... 30 metres out in front of the posts

AND THIS TIME JACO VAN DER WALT HITS HIS MARK

IRELAND 0 ~ SCOTLAND 3

Twirl, Twirl,Twirl to the Left
Twirl Twirl Twirl to the Right
High Kicks to the left
High Kicks to the right
Jump up and down waving pom poms all around!!!
;-) :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Scotland is attacking in Irish territory and have made much ground

Ireland have messed up their lineout as Scotland steal the ball

Scotland Fly Half Jaco Van Der Walt knocked on

Scotland are playing the best at the moment

Scotland knocked on this time so it's an Irish Scrum

MAN DOWN .... AND IT'S JOHNNY SEXTON

It's not his hamstring this time .... he's having ice on his thigh

The studio commentators are discussing Johnny Sexton's age. He's 35. They feel that as long as a player looks after himself there's no reason why the 35 year old can't carry on.

CASE IN POINT .... WALES' ALUN-WYN JONES <3
