Video: The Polish rugby team fairly belt out their national anthem

It’s safe to say this is a bit more passionate than Ireland’s Call…

National anthems before sporting events usually fall into two camps. They are either slightly embarrassing efforts featuring a lot of miming and feet shuffling, or rip-roaring sing-alongs with everyone giving it socks. This video definitely falls into the latter category.

Taken from before Poland’s rugby match with Czech Republic in Warsaw last weekend, the Polish team are pretty hyped and every last man, including the replacements, belt out the anthem.

We’re not saying that having a cracking pre-match sing song is essential to rugby success, but Poland did hammer Czech Republic 30-10 in the subsequent game.
