I respect and admire our noble Queen Elizabeth. but what I would like is instead of singing the National Anthem " God Save The Queen." I would like other songs/hymns to be used such as " Land of Hope and Glory"
What do other members of the forum think?.

Really good entertainment over the two days. Watching Rugby makes one realise what a bunch of over-paid, low pain threshold enduring bunch of fairies that many Premiership footballers are!!!. My no.2 daughter was in Rome this afternoon. Converted from football to rugby last year. :thumb:

Yup,
Football is 90 minutes pretending you're hurt...
Rugby is 80 minutes pretending you're not

Football is a gentleman's game played by hooligans...
Rugby is a hooligans game played by gentleman
