HISTORY
"Men of Harlech" or "The March of the Men of Harlech" (in Welsh: Rhyfelgyrch Gwyr Harlech) is a song and military march which is traditionally said to describe events during the seven year long siege of Harlech Castle between 1461 and 1468.

Commanded by Constable Dafydd ap Ieuan, the garrison held out in what is the longest known siege in the history of the British Isles.

"Through Seven Years" is an alternative name for the song. Now some associate the song with the earlier shorter siege of Harlech Castle around 1408, which pitted the forces of Owain Glyndwr against the future Henry V of England.

Men of Harlech is widely used as a regimental march, especially by British and Commonwealth regiments historically associated with Wales.

Adapted versions are sung by fans of several Welsh football clubs and as school or college songs around the world.

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,

Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.

LA MARSEILLAISE
Allons, enfants de la Patrie
Le jour de gloire est arrivé!
Contre nous, de la tyrannie
L'étendard sanglant est levé
Entendez-vous dans les campagnes
Mugir ces féroces soldats?
Ils viennent jusque dans nos bras
Égorger nos fils, nos compagnes!
Aux armes, citoyens!
Formez vos bataillons
Marchons, marchons!
Qu'un sang impur
Abreuve nos sillons!

DAN BIGGAR KICKS OFF THIS HUGE GAME FOR WALES <3

WALES SIX NATIONS GRAND SLAMS

Wales have won four Six Nations Grand Slams- in 2005, 2008, 2012 and 2019, but always at HOME in Cardiff. If Wales are successful in their attempt to claim a 5th Grand Slam Victory today then they will have broken new ground, because this time in will be on “foreign soil”!

Hi Jem <3

Not sure if I will stay long I am falling asleep :-(

No commentary as such from me tonight for obvious reasons.
Plenty of cheering, scores and highlights and banter

COME ON BIGGAR
