Wasn’t it great to hear “Advance Australia Fair” and “Land of our Fathers” sung properly at the other day’s Wales versus Australia rugby international?
Particularly with the Australian anthem, we are generally given for matches played in Australia, some whiny, nasally version from someone who cannot sing and are only there because of some “celebrity” status.
To hear both the anthems sung by the Welsh male choir (and the crowd) was a sheer pleasure that brought tears to my eyes.
Who on earth selects the so-called singers for the anthems at Australian hosted sporting fixtures?
Copies of the singing at Cardiff should be shown to administrators of all sporting groups to show how the national anthems should be presented.
