Ulster Rugby is facing its biggest game for over a decade when the team plays Leinster at Twickenham Stadium, on Saturday 19th May 2012 in the Heineken Cup Final. For a long time the clubs supporters have been looking for a suitable song/chant which would be suitably unique to the team, however in practical terms this seemingly simple task is extremely complicated. (See Ulster Rugby News Sept 2009 http://www.ulsterrugby.com/news/6553.php)

The Pet Shop Boys' version of "Go West" has been adapted by fans to "Stand up for the Ulsterman" is the only current anthem.

The song/chant has to be easy to remember, simple to sing and be able to create an invigorating effect on the team. Against that it must be free of any negative connatations, sectarian overtones, or bias to a particuler area.

Here are a couple of suggestions,

The Piranahs song Zambezi (change the chorus to Go Ulster) or The Irish folk song I,ll tell me Ma when I go home (Belle of Belfast City).........
