well they seem to have been welcomed into the group now after the stick they got from certain sections of fans after game 1.



still early days but cant see any reason for the band not to continue.

As I said last night can't help falling in love doesn't really work with the band, its too slow when they play and it ended up last night with most of the crowd just mumbling along, for me the crowd should just sing this on their own without the band



And also it doesn't work with having big G banging the drum at the same time, if we have to have the band then get rid of G's drum



Its not a moan just an observation other than that they were fine especially with the try celebrations

agree about the falling in love, fell abit flat a few times with the band

With the band its all about timing! A few times they played at very quiet moments in the game, when only the singers join in. Its about them taking the few opportunities when fans are clapping or cheering! Tries/Points are a given, but when big tackles go in people get on their feet. As soon as that happens the drum needs to get going and people sub-consciously join in. Aside from the win, and jerry's control over Carney, the whole of the BR stood up joining in with 'stand up for the fartowners' was my moment of the match!

Watching the game on TV it certainly made more of an impression than the usual deafening silence.



From the point of view of TV it has defninite benefits which will make marketing , advertising better.

It would be better if more people joined in but it doesn't look like this will happen, apart from the stand up bit it was the usual mob at the back singing and chanting although others did clap along now n again
