Video: Leinster Rugby fans turn ‘Toure’ chant into ‘Kearney’ chant

We think/hope this might catch on

We think/hope this might catch on

Last week we declared the ‘Toure’ chant the chant of the year, so universal did it become in 2013. Heck, even Kolo Toure himself sang it.

Anyway the simple ode to footballing brothers Kolo and Yaya Toure has now got its own Irish spin off.

On Leinster’s visit to Franklin’s Gardens last week to thump Northampton, a group of Leinster supporters were filmed singing the ‘Kearney’ chant.

With Rob and David taking the place of the soccer stars the chant works remarkably well, with the simple actions perfectly performed by the travelling Leinster fans.

Will we one day hear this ringing around the RDS and Aviva? We think so.

Thanks to Joe O Dea (great name) for sending our way.
