The British lions and Irish Rugby team. So does this mean when they play the national anthem, it will be God save the queen for the british, and the Irish anthem? They are under the same flag right??The British lions and Irish Rugby team. So does this mean when they play the national anthem, it will be God save the queen for the british, and the Irish anthem?

Well I stay not far from the Stadium where the Lions played the Reds. In the lead up to the game, I could hear the singers, rehearsing the God save the queen anthem, and The aussie anthem. Just the 2 anthems.
