Ridiculous, as much as I hate the song.

I've been against it since the fvckers started singing it in 87.

I took great pleasure in telling my english team mates what 'their' song meant but the ignorant tvvats refused to believe the truth.

It’s all bonkers.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

I've never understood why the Ruperts, Benedicts and Tristrams didn't just sing "Jerusalem "at 'HQ'?

It's a belter of a tune, and not an idiotically appropriated North American slave spiritual.

I guess they're just bell-ends!

"Jerusalem" would be more appropriate, but is probably more difficult to sing coherently or easily, especially after beer.

Why did they start singing Swing Low? Does anyone know? Can't be bothered to look it up but am interested

and lets be honest despite everything going on at the moment they'll find a way to justify it somehow

It was a rugby club song accompanied by appropriate hand gestures. I wonder if you can guess the wrist movement that accompanied "coming for to carry me home"?

Doesn't it say something about the lack of self-awareness, or simple crass insensitivity of the average English rugby supporter that this embarrassment has endured as long as it has.

Amazing grace was sung at George Floyds funeral and is a huge song in the black community. Written by John Newton.

With the message that forgiveness and redemption are possible regardless of sins committed and that the soul can be delivered from despair through the mercy of God, "Amazing Grace" is one of the most recognisable songs in the English-speaking world.

Better still.

John Newton went to sea at a young age and worked on slave ships in the slave trade for several years. In 1745, he himself became a slave of Princess Peye, a woman of the Sherbro people, but later returned to sea and was the captain of slave ships.

I hate sanctimony is the most sanctimonious comment on this thread by far.

Pretty much a staple of the post-match rituals of every youth team in Swansea and Neath in the ‘80s, that and smashing each other over the head with metal bar trays.

An idea isn't responsible for those who believe in it.

So what if it is a slave song.
It wasn't written by Hitler or the Ku Klux Clan, it was written by black people.
Do you not think that those black people who wrote it would be pleased to hear it sung by 80,000 people a 150 odd years later?

Do you think they are singing it to abuse black people?

I believe that's only part of the story.

An alternative take; As you can see Rosslyn park are playing harlequins in that clip and during the game Offiah and Andrew Harriman (the great quins speedster) collided, at which point the crowd starting singing swing low to the sight of 2 black men on the floor.

it wasn't sung at Twickenham again until the last game of the following years 5 nations, when Chris oti scored a hat trick and the crowd sang it because he was …?

it has been a staple of club houses for a long time before that, mainly due to the accompanying actions, but not sung at international matches.
