You can take those chants and make them Australian, Rugby specific. It might even attract soccer supporters over to Rugby.
While some of the ones you mention above are good, they don't always work at full voice with no backing music. Like the "Aussie Oi Oi" chant, people are getting tired of the same old, it's a prime opportunity to try something fresh.
It'll well and truly shock the the Kiwis and European teams.

I know I'd rather die than be free!
As for chants I can't think of any that don't make me cringe just a little, but that could be more my problem than anyone else's. Having said that 'land down under' actually worked quite well in the round ball - I guess absolutely everyone knows all of the words.

How about this to the tune of Dumb Things by Paul Kelly
Welcome [insert country name] to the show
Very soon your heads will be hanging low
We got the forwards
And the backs
And everything that your shit team lacks
We're in the middle,
In the middle
And we're Gold and Green
All our players are firing,
And yours did all the dumb things.

We could do this for all but SA a variation on the STAND UP
"Stand Up, if you've got 2 cups..."
"Stand Up, if you've got 2 cups..."

Watching the Rugby Club, Clarkie described the Eden Park crowd as hostile.
I want the Suncorp crowd to get stuck into the All Blacks and All Blacks supporters. Sick of this so called 50/50 stuff.
Shame I won't be there or that Melbourne won't host one anytime soon.

Back in the day NZ's best bowler used to cop it every time he was involved in the play, "Hadlee's a Wanker, (clapclap clapclap clap) repeated till everyone was rolling around laughing" these days the cricket mob often chant, "you are a wanker, (clapclap clapclap clap)"
So I reckon a switch to "Ritchie's a Cheater" would catch on big time and may make him stop and think, before well..........cheating.

I'd love to take the Army's drum to the RWC also, helps create an atmosphere.

A while ago Fitzsimmons suggested "Bound for Botany Bay" to be sung at Waratahs matches which I thought to be a good idea (even a broken clock is right twice a day). In that spirit, how about:
Farewell to the Kiwis forever,
Farewell to the Saffas as well,
Farewell to the pommies and the frogs
No others have any chance in hell.
Chorus:
Singing too-ral, li-ooral, li-addity,
Singing too-ral, li-ooral, li-ay,
Singing too-ral, li-ooral, li-addity,
Bill’s bound for Botany Bay.
There's the Elsom as is our commander,
There's the Horwill and all the forward crew,
There's the usual suspects as passengers,
Knows what we supporters go through.
These many long years I've been barracking
And many more years have to stay,
All for that chance of lifting Bill up
And taking the prize away.
There are several other verses but my ingenuity is pretty much used up.

Not really any different to waltzing matilda, is it?
As for bound for Botany Bay, I was sure the Dropkick Murphys had done a cover of it but I couldn't find it, so here's there Fields of Athenry - a great chant if ever there was one (and the tune for the Balmain club song, so I like it a bit more than most I guess)
