Quick Glance: Ireland Rugby Fans Propose Songs for Stadium Chants
  • Six Nations Tickets: Urgent need for Irish fans to elevate their performance

  • We surveyed readers of the Irish Times to gather their suggestions on what song Ireland fans should sing to enhance the atmosphere at the Aviva Stadium on match day - a topic that generated numerous responses.

  • The exceptional rugby song 'There is an Isle' should be the chosen one.

  • Any song chosen for Ireland fans to sing must have memorable lyrics that people may already know by heart from their childhood (or from local bars at weddings!) and it should feel natural and fitting for a group of people trying to motivate a rugby team to win a Test match.
