Just heard the Freddie Mercury "Ay-o" chant being shouted by Wales fans at the JRWC. I know it's pretty similar to the Wales chant anyway but it could be replicated in its entirety to, "Cymru", "Bale", "Wales" etc. Ive heard that a few times recently. I'm sure it was being done at the T20 Vitality Blast finals day. Not sure if it's a chant or just a current trend Ah, genuinely never heard it before.

People were singing lyrics to Men of Harlech on Sunday. The more that join in the more it will take off.
Does ‘Feed me til I’m Kieffer Moore’ not tickle your rugby fancy? Heard that in pockets on Sunday too. Feel free to join in.

Great to hear 'Yma o hyd' being sung with such fervor last night. Hairs on the back of my neck mun..
For the non-Welsh speakers;
Yma o Hyd (English: Still Here) is a patriotic song in the Welsh language released by Dafydd Iwan in 1981. The song extols the survival of the Welsh nation over the centuries
The song proudly proclaims Ry'n ni yma o hyd, er gwaetha pawb a phopeth which translates as "We're still here, in spite of everyone and everything." It relates to the continuing survival of the Welsh people and their language "until Judgement Day" – a reference to a famous conversation recorded by Gerald of Wales between King Henry II of England and an elderly Welshman during one of his campaigns in the 12th century. Of the continued survival of the Welsh nation the old man tells the king;
"Never will it be destroyed by the wrath of man, unless the wrath of God be added, nor do I think that any other nation than this of Wales, or any other tongue, whatever may hereafter come to pass, shall on the day of the great reckoning before the Most High Judge, answer for this corner of the Earth."
It has been argued that the song played a significant role in raising the morale of Welsh nationalists during the 1980s, thereby inspiring a resurgence in support for the Welsh language and culminating in three key Acts of Parliament: the Education Reform Act of 1988, the Welsh Language Act of 1993 and the Government of Wales Act of 1998 (the latter of which authorized the establishment of a National Assembly for Wales in 1999).

Think it's cause they love Queen in Japan.

Minor quibble, but can we sack off Yma O Hyd before it sets in? Absolute dirge. Calon Lan sounds much better and is far more appropriate.

Yma O Hyd is extremely patriotic and it could be a great song if the fans could get it right, it needs to just be a couple of lines from the chorus, something like Ry’n ni yma o hyd, Ry’n ni yma o hyd, Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth, Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth, Repeat. Quite a few fans don’t speak Welsh, so I have attached a link so they can read up on the meaning and origin of the song. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yma_o_Hyd

Was great to hear "can't take my eyes off you" played after the game.
We don't sing that enough at games any more.

What about a simple chant "Ole,ole,ole - Cym-ru, Cym-ru".
"Ole" in Welsh means the question "From where?"
