Maybe those from Leinster would.
Does Amhran na Bfhiann go anything like Amhrán na bhFiann?While I'd prefer if it was Amhran na Bfhiann alone
Hymn?they sing the hymn of the land
What the hell has religion got to do with this?!Far better is to count how many catholics have played for Ulster and compare it with actual players registered etc (this isn't a republican rant, just something pointed out by an Ulster supporter).
It’s the dyslexic’s version.Does Amhran na Bfhiann go anything like Amhrán na bhFiann?
You could have fooled me.The players play for Ireland, not The Republic of Ireland or the province of Northern Ireland. They do not play for a political entity but a geographical one.this isn't a republican rant
And they definitely don't represent any particular church/religion!It’s the dyslexic’s version.

Which, like Ireland's Call is an unofficial anthem.When Scotland play a Rugby match do they play GSTQ ?? - instead they play Flower of Scotland
Ditto.When Wales play a Rugby match do they play GSTQ ?? - instead they play Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau (land of my fathers)
I think you're overreacting to previous facetious comments about playing GSTQ for an Irish team!So why should it be played for a handful of "Unionists" who CHOOSE to play for IRELAND ?

Ditto.
Mind you QSTQ is also strictly unofficial.

Or the ones from Cork could sing whatever they sing in their country
Er, that doesn't really explain why you mentioned religion at all!?The point about counting the Catholics was just moot, I only mentioned it because of the fact that at the ultimate level they represent Ireland, and while the Amhran isn't the anthem for the whole island, they play under the tricolour.
Why - did you not know the words? Or are you not a Catholic?A handful of times that I represented Ireland, and stood when the anthem played, it was half way through before I got going to sing
Maybe you'd be better off sticking to international sports where the teams represent political entities? Soccer maybe?I've been to countless International sports matches both home and abroad and everytime I feel like im the only one singing OUR (Rep. of Ireland) national anthem.. I think its a bit of a disgrace really that people dont sing it.
