With the Six nations starting and as a tribute to my mis-spent youth playing the game, here is a link to get you singing along to some of the old Rugby songs!
Ah, memories!
(Link is to lyrics of well, rude, rugger songs, best sung after a skinful of ale).

Hehe! - I had an LP (black vinyl circular disk with grooves on it) of the Rugby songs years ago.

"Hey-ho," says Rowley.

:-D

"Wales defeated England in a fast and open game, we sang Cwm Rhondda and Delilah - damn they sounded both the same"

From the exponent of the art - Max Boyce.......still at it went to see him live a couple of years ago, brilliant singer/song-writer and comic.

Tree simple rule changes to "improve" the game of Rugby :-
1. Allow forward passing.
2. Ban the use of hands.
3. change the ball shape to "Round"!

4.Segregate the spectators
5.Spectators to use racist chants
6. Organise fights between groups of spectators
7. Players to racially abuse other players.
8. Players to cultivate the art of 'diving'.

 Rugby songs. - Armel Coussine
Thinking of this thread, I wandered into the kitchen here singing snatches of The Harlot of Jerusalem which I remembered from school. Fortunately I was just going diddly-diddly-diddly-dum and not singing much of the actual lyric, but was still taken aback to find my daughter and her husband giggling in the sitting room that opens off that kitchen.

The only printable bit I can remember is the last stanza:

'And as he whistled out to sea
Revolving gyroscopically
He caught his knackers on a tree
High above Jerusalem... '

If you went around singing it loudly you would end up with El Qaeda and the Mossad competing to torture you to death. But people didn't worry about them in the fifties.

I seem to remember owning that LP of rugby songs, it was by the Jock Strapp Ensemble.

I think they were on TOTPs sometime in the 70's.

I care. Never was a victory less deserved. That was clearly a try.

However, congratulations anyway. Denton will go on to greatness, we can be sure of that.

Blimey, don't the jocks whine when they lose to England. You would have thought they would have got used to it by now.

Interesting.

You feel that you know better than an international referee from a neutral nation?

Well, today's match was a cracker!

The first (Welsh) pile driver should have been a red card; the second (Irish) one was just about a yellow, as given.
.
SWMBO, being Welsh, was overjoyed, but I reckon that either of today's teams will pluck & stuff England when they meet later in the 6N.
