VIDEO: Irish rugby fans take over Wembley Tube Station singing Fields of Athenry

Not so lonely

By a lonely prison wall…

Irish fans have taken the opportunity to make the 2015 Rugby World Cup their own. Sunday’s showdown with Romania was the best attended Rugby World Cup game in the history of the sport.

The Irish fans in Great Britain have made their presence felt in many ways, celebrating Japan’s iconic win over South Africa as well as Ireland’s own successes.

This footage is some of the best yet: hundreds if not thousands of Irish fans kept waiting over an hour for an Underground train from Wembley tube station blasted out this rendition of Fields of Athenry.

The queue to tube. Over an hour waiting in crowd control but still singing!
