Oz vs Ireland in ruggers in Brisbane

You certainly can HM. The band won't be accompanying you however.

True, from wikipedia

Since April 1995, a specially composed anthem, "Ireland's Call" has been used by the Irish team in away games.^[15] This has prompted some players and supporters from the Republic to complain that "Amhrán na bhFiann" should be played.^[16] At games played in Dublin "Ireland's Call" is always used alongside "Amhrán na bhFiann".^[17] This use of "Amhrán na bhFiann" has caused similar complaints from players and supporters from Northern Ireland.^{[citation needed]} With Ireland's friendly game against Italy in the run up to the Rugby World Cup scheduled to be held in Belfast, there were calls for "God Save the Queen" to be used alongside "Ireland's Call" but this was turned down by the IRFU^[18] with the explanation given that it was not a 'home' match because the team would be playing "outside Ireland".^[19]

Similarly, the Irish tricolour, the official flag of the Republic of Ireland, is flown only when playing in the Republic. A flag with symbols representing the four provinces of Ireland is flown alongside the Irish tricolour in Dublin, and is used exclusively when playing elsewhere.^{[citation needed]} At some matches, the standard of the island's rugby union governing body, the Irish Rugby Football Union, is displayed on the field during pre-match ceremonies.^{[citation needed]} Many supporters in the crowd at Ireland matches wave the tricolour of the Republic of Ireland, though not all of the island is part of the Republic.

Only Sung at home games it seems

So our national anthem will not be played no? what a load of absolute cock

Unreal - hairs on the back of yer neck stuff. So loud the girl behind the bar ran out covering her ears !  ( that said i'm a sh*te singer so that coulda been it !)

Unfortunatley dude.

Irelands call is Irelands shame

Just reading the text report from the Ireland v England Cricket match:

1st over - 6-0 Tremendous stuff - God Save the Queen and The Soldier's Song on the steel drums! Have to say, the Irish national anthem deals rather better with being 'mashed up'. Boyd Rankin with the first ball and you don't want to bowl it there with fine-leg up, four runs off the bat of Lumb. All very attacking though from Ireland, two slips in, although they remove one for the right-handed Kieswetter. Keith (see below) - if it rains all day on Thursday, not only will Brown stay in power, by my Duckworth-Lewis calculations Plaid Cymru will take Kensington and Chelsea and Nick Griffin will be installed as speaker.

Surprised if Amhrán na bhFiann was played, if it was I'm sure there will be a few complaints by the suits of the ICU...

Denis if you want to come up here and explain that to the members of the Northern Cricket Union I will glady back you up...from a safe distance
