I don't know if they are still doing it... but at the last Irish rugby match I saw on TV.. which was a while ago.... they sang "Ireland's call"(????).... which I think they may have sung in addition to the "Soldier's song"........ (New Zealand does a haka (bound to be spelt wrong to frighten their opponents..... Ireland sings to charm theirs.....*grin*)

as someone else said "The Soldier's song" is the anthem for the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland's is "God save the queen"............ prefer the tune to the soldier's song myself...........
