Re: 6 Nations
Swing Low is bizarre. A stadium full of posh English people singing a plantation slave song with absolutely no sense of irony. What's that all about?

Re: 6 Nations
Swing low is almost as annoying and pointless as “Play Up Pompey” droning on and on again for 80 minutes.

Re: 6 Nations
The abolition of slavery in UK predates the formation of Rugby Union by approximately 70 years. Its a good communal song without orchestration for obvious reasons, so I'm not sure what the problem or even the irony is.
