It wouldn't be like Ireland's Call to split opinion, would it?

The Irish belted out their rugby anthem before a crucial World Cup game with France but, as per usual, it wasn't taken in with unanimous adoration. Like it or loathe it, it got the people going on Sunday. https://twitter.com/daraobriain/status/653235136398524416 This particular version for such a crunch clash did get people more up for the war. https://twitter.com/BrianKiely2/status/653236362842374144 And, even if you're not a fan of the new-ish anthem (can we call it that?), it was still being screamed around the Millennium Stadium. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CC5k96IT4Y Still, there are no talking some people around. https://twitter.com/GlennCarroll1/status/653236320064667648 You know its bad when that bloody annoying Eir ad is given more praise. https://twitter.com/Cunneen92/status/653235220209082370 But a group of Ireland soccer fans watching on from Poland before the crunch Euro '16 qualifier had their own method of getting psyched before the rugby match. During Ireland's Call played in the bar, they sang their own version. They sang Amhrán na bhFiann. https://twitter.com/Ed_Leahy/status/653237682844364800
