    I have several of those on DVD somewhere. Check out the Kerry landing video. Next time someone suggests that 'those planes fly themselves' show him that clip. That Captain got a great workout keeping the thing on the centreline.

    Later in the same video as the aircraft is landing somewhere in Britain you can hear everyone in the back singing 'The fields of Athenry'. Must have been some sort of Munster rugby charter.

    I was lucky enough to be in the cockpit of a Cessna Citation landing in low cloud conditions in Cork a couple of years back and got it on video.

    It's one of the oddities of Irish rugby, even the song writer is amused by it. (Saw a documentary on the song about a year ago)

    Would you say the same for Leinster? They have a french chant 'Allez les Bleus'...?

    Which is a nod to the blue tops we wear and started during the game in Toulouse when we beat them away! allez the blue actually has something to do with Leinster(blue shirts), Athenry has nothing to do with Munster at all!:cool:

    Its an Irish folk song which Munster fans have every right to sing. Anyway, Stand Up And Fight has become the clubs main anthem in the last couple of years.

    I suppose so...plenty of fields in Munster to sing about though!:D

    When they start singing it against Connacht I have a smile however!
