THIS AFTERNOON IRELAND’s rugby players will embark on the latest leg of their journey to the Rugby World Cup: the actual flight to New Zealand.
Brian O’Driscoll will lead his side onto the plane for a 5pm departure ahead of at least a month-and-a-half at the tournament.
Yesterday, we asked you on TheScore, our Facebook page and through Twitter to help us compile a playlist for the players to while away the epic journey south.
Put a coin in the jukebox and check out the mix-tape you came up with:
- The Beatles – Getting Better
“It’s a little better all the time”
- Snoop Dogg vs David Guetta – Sweat
“Sweat, sweat”
- Arcade Fire – Wake Up
“You’d better look out below”
- Elvis – A little less conversation
“A little less fight and a little more spark”
- This is the One – Stone Roses
“I’d like to leave the country, for a month of Sundays”
- Curtis Mayfield – Move on up
“So keep on pushing, Take nothing less – not even second best”
- Johnny Cash – I Won’t Back Down
“You can stand me up at the gates of hell, But I won’t back down”
- Gil Scott Heron - I’m New Here
“No matter how far you’ve gone, you can always turn around”
- O Fortuna – Carmina Burana
- Kanye West – Stronger
“Work it, make it, do it, makes us harder, better, faster, stronger”
- Don’t Stop Believing – Journey
“Some will win, some will lose, some were born to sing the blues”
- Luke Kelly – Song for Ireland
“I stood by your Atlantic sea and sang a song for Ireland”
Let us know if you’ve any more suggestion and we’ll flip over to the other side of the tape.
