Fans were very confused by the version of ‘Ireland’s call’ played before Ireland kicked off against Italy on Saturday.
Andy Farrell’s side takes on the Italians in Rome in a crucial game for both sides. Ireland is currently top of the Six Nation standings while Italy is fifth and just one point off the bottom side, Wales.
But it wasn’t the game fans were talking about as the game kicked off, it was the national anthem.
