Why it's time for English rugby fans to stop singing Swing Low, Sweet Chariot: The Rugby World Cup starts on Friday, with the hosts England facing off against Figi at Twickenham. As you'd expect, the home side's fans will be out in full force, and singing their hearts out in support of Stuart Lancaster's men. Whatever happens on the pitch however, one thing is inevitable. Swing Low Sweet Chariot will be sung. It has been the anthem of English rugby for at least 25 years now. However, its history should give England's rugby fans pause for thought before they belt it out from the stands.
