Im a proud englishman with strong irish routes. Naturally i support england but i understand the pain the irish have suffered over many hundreds of years. This was an occasion when all the demons were finally put to bed and the irish were 100% respectful of god save the queen when it was playing, not one sound was made and they stood quietly. The irish should be proud of themselves and they have all my admiration!

My favourite part of this is THE Bulldog and English rugby legend, Brian Moore, saying he has a lump in his throat after Amhran na Bhfiann. Top man Brian Moore.
-
what made that day even more special was we thumped them 43-13
-
What made this even more special was seeing the Bull crying from the emotion of the occasion! I'll never forget this!

There is something about rugby that brings this divided island together. This however is something else. Up the men in green
-
as an Englishman, I found this quite stunning... I don't know what's better...the class shown by the Irish fans towards GSTQ or the ferocity and passion shown by those same good Irish fans during both of their anthems? absolutely top order, lads....well done

I was there. The Irish anthem was so load with soul it rocked Croke Park. I went into town afterwards with my friends and there was people jumping on tables and they were singing the fields of Athenry with joy and happiness. You just had to be there

I was there that day. Cried like a baby singing it. Still gives me a major lump in my throat
-
That match was the very first rugby match i ever watched and have been in love with the game since. Come on Ireland!!!
-

In memory of the Irish victims of the 21 november 1920 Massacre, the first Bloody Sunday ! RIP Michael Hogan ! Great match and great victory !

I was at this game and it was an amazing event. Dublin was literally bouncing that night. Great great memories
-
Impossible to watch this without getting goosebumps. We Irish are passionate fans
-
I'm French, and I'll remember this match for the rest of my life. Seen it live and I understood that was a great moment. That's not just rugby history it's history. And as usual, Irish (as well as Welsh and Scottish) are always so respectful.
-
I remember watching this on the tele and my dad, whom I rarely saw cry, wept like a child singing his heart out. Brilliant stuff, sends shivers right down my spine everytime I hear it.
-
Honestly, this was one of the most emotional experiences I have ever had watching an Ireland game. (That includes Bonner's save in Italia 90). What I think people will miss though is just how electric the Irish sung the Anthems, the BBC coverage doesn't to it justice. Well done Ireland on making everybody so so proud. I will enjoy this moment for a long time.

One of the most special moments for me as a rugby fan, I'm English and wear my heart on my sleeve and walked through north Dublin with a sense of dread after the media hype over the national anthems. I should never have questioned the respect and warm-hearetd nature of the Irish fans...a great day, the right result, and the usual post-rugby day Sunday morning Dublin hangover to top it off.
-
thank you to the boys who lined up that day. il never forget it
-
This shows how nations can Live side by side peacefully. I loved this moment so much. Ireland vs. England what a game it was. great video well done.

As an Englishman of Irish parentage, this gives me goosebumps every time I hear it, all 3 anthems, the respect and the passion combined. No wonder i've turned away from football. Can anyone imagine a Lions ethos in the greedy game?
