If only the British National Anthem wasn't such a dirge of a song I'd be happy with it.

Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png |

| GSTQ all the way. It's the English national anthem, end of.
If there is any campaign, it should be to change that horrific bagde on the England RL shirt. I still can't believe anyone actually voted for that  |

True but the national anthem sung by English sporting teams is GSTQ. Football, yawnion, cricket, whatever. RL should stay the same. |

Nonsense, I'm English, then British. Andy Murray is Scottish when he loses and British when he wins. |

ANYTHING is better than God Save The Queen. It's bad enough that our head of state runs a family of chinless wonders whose only talent is for Tax Dodging without people singing a song saying how gracious and noble she is - give me a 32 million quid a year for walking round chatting to people and I'll be as gracious as you like!
Anyway, God save the queen is too short, Kiwis got the right idea, 5 minutes long - then they sing it in another language and then they do a Haka whilst pulling funny faces - great stuff.
By comparison God Save the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (ooops, sorry, I mean Queen, we are all good friends now etc) just gets mumbled by the players for a few awkward seconds and comes across as flat, usually sounds like it should be played at a low budget funeral - awful.
Land of hope and glory please.

Have any of you suggesting Land of Hope and Glory ever actually listened to it?
Yes, the "Land of Hope and Glooooooory" chorus is fantastically grand and uplifting, but for the most it's a lively, jolly little jaunt that bounces around all over the place without lyrics. Not a national anthem by any stretch. Cutting it to the chorus alone would sound a bit daft.
For RL, "Jerusalem" would be ideal.
Not that it'll change.
