Agreed, woodgers. I guess in a way the national anthem is what makes you realise that it is a test match (or international fixture). Maybe that is why we tend to think other national anthems are better than ours. In other words, we hear our national anthem played in other places especially at school. I'm sure everybody heard it played at least once a week in primary and at least once a term in high school. I'm sure there would be plenty of other places it is played - just can't name any at the minute.woodgers said:My opinion has always been the same on our anthem. It sucks plain and simple. I believe a national anthem should stir the emotions of those that sing it, instill a sense of pride and actually make you want to sing it. Ours does none of those things. I often think that a lot of people are probably on the same page as myself and would like a different one but they can't change it now, it's too late really.
Also, woodgers, I believe that they changed to Advance Australia Fair from God Save the Queen in 1977. Advance Australia Fair was written late 1800's so it took nearly a century for them to start using it. So they should be able to change it of they wanted to

Agree though on the Kiwi national anthem, it is just incredible when heard at sporting events etc - really fires up the crowd.
I wasn't at the ground for the Uruguay match
