Best Answer

The song played by the Irish Rugby team is called "Irelands Call". It was composed by Phil Coulter. The Irish rugby team represents the two communitys of Ireland, nationalist and unionist, so an anthem was composed with the sensitivities of the two in mind. Although it has aroused debate, it is without doubt the best solution. It would be unfair to supporters of the Irish team that consider themselves British or Ulster-Scots to be represented by "Amhran n bhFiann".

Why are there two Irish anthems?

There is only one Irish national anthem, which is Amhrán na bhFiann (The Soldiers' Song). Ireland's Call is a song played at some rugby internationals because there is an all-Ireland rugby team, including players from Northern Ireland, but it is not a national anthem.
