NEW ZEALAND v WALES ~ THE ANTHEMS

GOD DEFEND NEW ZEALAND

The anthem has English and Maori lyrics, with slightly different meanings. When performed in public, the usual practice is to sing the first verse in both Maori and English.


Maori verse: "Aotearoa"
E Ihowa Atua,
O nga iwi matou ra
Ata whakarangona;
Me aroha noa
Kia hua ko te pai;
Kia tau to atawhai;
Manaakitia mai
Aotearoa

English translation (Karetu)

Lord, God over yonder,
Of all our nations
Listen to us gently,
With the infinite love
May the goodness bear fruit;
May your kindness come;
Please give protection to
Aotearoa


English verse: "God Defend New Zealand"

God of Nations at Thy feet,
In the bonds of love we meet,
Hear our voices, we entreat,
God defend our free land.
Guard Pacific's triple star
From the shafts of strife and war,
Make her praises heard afar,
God defend New Zealand.


WALES ~ MAE HEN WLAD FY NHADAU (Match Version)

Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mad,
Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed

Gwlad, gwlad,
pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.
Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.

:-0 :-0 :-0 :-0Get it sorted quick Jem

Radio Jem is experiencing BIG technical difficulties today... please bear with me :-0

Hope this is not the shape of things to come for Wales :-0 :-(

And I'm still having problems :-(

So much for "STILL HERE"! I've had to log in via OH's phone cos my computer froze. I'm rebooting :-| :-| :-|

Wayhey! The Gang is already here :-D :-D :-D <3 <3

AND RADIO JEM IS NOW LIVE FOR

NEW ZEALAND v WALES IN THE BRONZE FINAL


Wales may not be the winners of the RWC 2019 ... but hey! ... WE ARE STILL HERE- JUST! ;-)

Our theme song Everyone - YMA O HYD (Still Here):-D

In a red T-shirt :-D :-D :-D

COME ON WALES :-D :-D :-D

THE 2 HOUR WARNING EVERYONE ;-)

IT WILL BE SO HARD TO SAY GOODBYE TO WARREN GATLAND TOMORROW! :-(

The KIWI who has become in the hearts of Wales Rugby Fans- a PRINCE of WALES <3

The Bronze Final tomorrow morning will be Warren's very last game as Wales's Head Coach. A game that will bring to an end a 12 year tenure that has been THE MOST SUCCESSFUL IN WALES' RUGBY HISTORY!


WALES UNDER WARREN GATLAND HAS ACHIEVED....

* 4 SIX NATIONS TITLES
*including 3 GRAND SLAMS

* A 1st STINT AT BEING THE WORLD'S NUMBER 1 RANKED SIDE

*2 RUGBY WORLD CUP SEMI-FINALS

Such a shame that a RWC Title could not have been added to his list of achievements for Wales, but it was not to be :-( ....


.... BUT THERE'S STILL TOMORROW ;-)

Wales will be playing Warren's Home Nation- New Zealand- for 3rd place in the RWC Bronze Final tomorrow morning.

WALES HAVE NOT BEATEN THE ALL BLACKS FOR 66 YEARS!
Now THAT certainly would be a "Prince of Wales feather" in Warren's Cap ;-)



A DEBT OF GRATITUDE & A LEGACY

There's so much that Wales Rugby Fans owe to Warren Gatland.
As former Wales International SHANE WILLIAMS said: "I think he's put Welsh Rugby in a great position. What he has installed is CONFIDENCE and PRIDE in THAT (Wales) JERSEY!"

"Warren Gatland has brought RESPECT to Welsh Rugby", Wales Online said "A remarkable 12 years! He is responsible for a "GOLDEN ERA" equally as good as the LEGENDARY TEAM of the 1970s"



YES IT WILL BE HARD TO SAY GOODBYE TO WARREN
But say goodbye we have to :-(

GOOD BYE WARREN & THANK YOU <3 <3 <3
