Singing the Anthem

[The Chosen]

Noticed during the Anthems last night, no lip movement from either Pocock or Samo. Perhaps they were physcing up in a different way?

Maybe they were basking in the sound of ~45000 Aussies belting out the anthem. Good show Suncorp!

Pretty certain there wasn't that many of us. But Lang park is turning into the best rugby ground in the country. We should make it our go to ground to intimidate opponents. It seems that ever bledisloe we have a few more Aussies in the crowd. Pretty soon the kiwis will stop feeling like it's a home game

All the more reason for them to get with it!

I did notice that the All Blacks were actually singing theirs, which they often don't.

Each to their own. Samo looked like he was basking in it. Regardless of where they are born, bet they feel a huge honour to whack on the Gold and represent Australia.

I don't think I have seen Samo ever sing it? Pocock usually does though. Whatever ritual they were going through I hope they keep it up, they both had blinders!

I'm not fussed on whether players sing the anthem or not.
They are there to play the game and I believe they can honour the national anthem in any way that doesn't disrepect it.

We don't need to go back to the Alan Jones days where they had singing lessons. And in addition TV broadcasters take note - never turn the microphone on the camera that passes down the line of players - as I said before, they are there to play the game and this isn't Australian Idol...

Maybe we need some fans to sneak onto the field and help sing it:
