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.

We should all just hum the Emmerdale theme.

rlIgnore the fact that the singer is a kiwi, and ignore the Scotland picturesrl but this would make a great National Anthem

God Save The Queen is the national anthem.........why change

God Save the Queen (Sex Pistols version) would certainly liven things up. Can see Ray french pogoing as we speak.

Amazed no-one has mentioned it yet.

I'd like to see any 18 stone, beer swilling, RL fan attempting to sing Land Of Hope And Glory

surely tubthumping would be apt for a RL team, especially England at Int level?

or all the players humming the Hovis tune with a single trumpet serenading in the background!

How about every nation just sings their national anthem? Home nations can pretend that GSTQ isn't their national anthem all they want but whether they like it or not, it is.

Jerusalem for me

Jerusalem?!!!!!!!!!!!! F off. Most of you don't know the history to it, or the words, you Pommie see you next Tuesday's. Did Jesus exist? Did he come to England? Balls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can shove it where the sun don't shine!

Land of hope and glory +1

and grab another VB.
