After the music for the Welsh national anthem was accidentally cut prior to kick-off in the 1-0 win against Georgia on Friday night, the travelling Welsh crowd finished 'Land of My Fathers' unaccompanied.
It was a rousing rendition, one which the Wales players wanted to see replicated at the Cardiff Stadium for Monday's game against Ireland.
The players' request was granted by the Welsh FA and nearly 30,000 fans sang the anthem a capella.
So, that Welsh anthem was impressive. We will post once in Welsh, in their honour #RTEsoccer #WALIRLhttps://t.co/x4MB8noZgN pic.twitter.com/0PscN08qYV

Just 3,500 Irish fans filled the Cardiff Stadium. As a result, the volume for Amhrán na bhFiann was considerably lower than that of the Welsh anthem. Also, keep an eye out for Bernard Brogan in shot towards the last few lines.
