It's always amazed me that Land Down Under is used so much as a 'patriotic' song. The first line is about smoking pot in a combi van.

I don't think it's really patriotic, but celebratory. Good thing too. Much better than stuffy dirges about how fair we are.

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.

Love that idea.

Maybe just this part:

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.

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.

Everyone happy with the Botany Bay reference?

How about:

"We've two World Cups
and we're having sex
doo dah doo dah

Two World Cups
and we're having sex

oh didodah day"

As for singalong songs, I've always thought throw your arms around me would go off sung by a large crowd at the rugby.

Tops. In light of their campaign, gold.

One for the English too:

If we win you'll loot this joint
Doo Dah Doo Dah
If we win you'll loot this joint
Oh Doo Dah Day

To the tune of "The Ants go marching"
Hum the lines until the end
The men in gold are still number 1!

Do we want a PDF? I'm happy to print off copies and bring them with me also.

Maybe a take on the "One Song" by the Barmy Army, for the Poms & Kiwis:

One Cup!
You've only got one cup
You've only got one cup
You've only got one cup
Repeat

Hope you have all been watching the Ireland vs USA game? That's what we'll be up against next week.

I've been thinking about this, before he comes on or when there's a scrum or lineout:

TPN! TPN! TPN! (repeat)

or

TPN, Oi Oi Oi,
TPN, he's dynamite!
TPN, he'll win the fight!
TPN, he's a powerload!,
TPN, watch him explode! (or watch us explode)
and then everyone goes apeshit mental and screams and throws stuff around - picture the 'let's go fucking mental' pub scene in Green Street Hooligans.


I think this could seriously be the go, very aussie with acca dacca too

What should be the "trademark" chant? If you've watched the games so far, you'll notice most teams have one:
- French: Allez Le Bleus
- England: Sweet Chariot
- Argentina: <Something in spanish?>
- Italy: Italia!
- Ireland: Ireland, Ireland...
- USA: USA, USA..
- Wales: Wales, Wales...
- South Africa: Ole Bokke

What do we have? There was a lot of talk on here for the Bledisloe game, not much happened.

Should we go with:
- "Come On You Gold" (Unique)
- "Ausssiiieeesss" (Similar to others)
- "Ole Aussie" (Similar to South Africa)

or other suggestions?

Problem with the longer chants is that it does take time for them to "gel". Considering Aussie supporters rarely gather for extended periods (compared to Super Rugby) it will take some time.

I'm going to use a lot of the shorter ones this weekend.
