Ireland V England Rugby

[gummy]

Don't like Rugby never have never will but just listened to the opening anthems. Considering the history between the English and Irish how nice was it to hear both Irish and English national anthems sung with the crowd showing respect for both nationalities. What a pity that respective teams anthems, anywhere in the world are normally subjected to booing or whistling.

It is a pity that not more nations and matches followed this example of mutual respect, it was a pleasure to hear irrespective of the match outcome. By the way, why do they play with a mis-shaped ball?
