Video: John Hayes would be proud of this 5-year-old’s brilliant rendition of Ireland’s Call

This guy is a champ.

This guy is a champ.

Irish people singing anthems at a match is a very strange thing.

You’ll have the people who don’t get involved, the people who mumble weird sounds and the people who belt out every word as if their lives depended on it.

We’re happy to say five-year-old Elliot Weight, who was at Ireland v South Africa in the Aviva a few weeks ago, falls into the latter category.

He sings Ireland’s Call with all the gusto and pride of John Hayes in his heyday, this is just great.

Some passion from the young Elliot and who knows we might see him singing it lining up for Ireland some day.
