New AFL Advert - Welsh National Anthem!!
Can someone please explain to me why the new advert for the AFL season has the Welsh National Anthem as the soundtrack? I know the Welsh rugby team are playing particularly well at the moment - perhaps it's a motivation thing? The relationship between the 
AFL and the anthem is really intriguing though.

AFL and the anthem is really intriguing though.i have not one clue, but i do know that hearing the Welsh national anthem belted out at the millenium stadium is one of the most inspirational things i have ever heard and i'm not even Welsh.

AFL and the anthem is really intriguing though.My guess is that there would have been a lot of AFL hierachy at Telstra Dome last year to see Cymru v Canada. Truly inspirational!! Have never seen anything like it

The official national anthem of England is “God Save the Queen”.
The unofficial anthem is “Land of Hope and Glory”, which has been nicked by the Tory party. A bit like the England RU nicking the classic rugby chant “Swing Low Sweet Chariot”.
