The blogger Longrider brings us some very welcome news about the response by Welsh rugby fans to the Welsh rugby authority’s decision to ban their choirs from singing the Tom Jones hit ‘Delilah’. Apparently the rugby fans of Wales were having none of that bollocks and lustily sang the song anyway from the stands.

Oh, it’s glorious when people resist.

Wales fans ignored the WRU’s ban on the Principality Stadium choir singing Sir Tom Jones’s hit Delilah in their side’s Six Nations clash with Ireland.

After being rocked by allegations of sexism, racism and misogyny, the WRU told the choir that performs before their home matches not to sing the song.

The response was a massive ‘fuck you.’

Before, during and after yesterday’s game against Ireland, however, the song rang out loud and proud from the terraces. The resistance began early. In the hours ahead of kick-off, the hit was heard loud on the streets and, of course, in the pubs.

I agree with both Longrider and the Welsh fans of rugby. The response to banstrubators like those in the Welsh rugby establishment do need to be told to ‘fuck off’ and this is what the fans of rugby have done.
