This video has a strong overwhelming emotional feel for me. I lost my Dad in March 2000 I was 13 years old. The only video footage I have of him is at 15seconds stood in the tunnel in his suit looking happy and proud. I have played this video hundreds of times.
No other country on Earth can touch the Welsh anthem and this is the best version of World in Union ever. From a Kiwi. Thank you Wales for your legendary voices and your Rugby spirit.
For me PJ Powers singing World in Union at the 1995 RWC cut deep on the day & every time I hear it. I'll never forget the spirit of that nation on the day
This version in 99' was by far the best in world cup history. The choir was fantastic Bryn singing in welsh Dame Shirley's very powerful voice and even as a kiwi myself the 95' South African version in 2nd place was pretty funky and catchy then Dame Kiri Te Kanawa's version in 3rd. A Great Song fitting anthem for the best sport in the world (IMO). BTW GO the mighty All Blacks for RWC 2015!!!
EMOCIONANTE!!!!! Excelente perfomance. Sharley estava linda,simples com um sorriso doce e alegre dando união a todos.!!!! Não interessa mais nada,senão este momento único. Obrigada.
Absolutely brilliant. Shirley Bassey's incredible. Can you believe you're looking and listening to a woman that sung Bond themes in the 1960s? She looks and sounds like a woman at the height of her career.
I remember watching this in my mam and dad's bedroom (that's where the spare TV was) and bawling my eyes out. Joined the local team the next day, scored on my debut, then f***ed my knee completely the same year. Had a ton of fun in the meantime though
Yeah if you're a fan of fucking pop idol, et al manufactured contempory shite. This was sung when national pride in the UK wasn't considered "racist", I remember watching it when I was a kid and being blown away. I remember watching Hayley Westenra "singing" it and wondering who she blew off to get on TV - go figure. And piss off whilst you're at it

My condolences on your loss. Still, if this is a video to remember him by then that is a wonderful thing. Truly a special moment. God bless.
David. Shirley and Kiri have class. That's why the Queen made them Dames.
Beautiful. Dame Shirley looked as Beautiful as she sounded and our Bryn in Welsh language vocals makes this the best ever world in union song
Greatest people, greatest nation. God bless Wales. God’s country.
I like this song like crazy.Shirley Bassay is truly a brilliant singer.What a voice,what a smile,what a song.Thank you so much for sharing.
A special moment in time
I remember this day. It was this very moment that I got hooked on rugby after hearing this song! Wales coming out and winning played a part too lol
No other country on Earth can touch the Welsh anthem and this is the best version of World in Union ever.
From a Kiwi.

Seriously only New Zealand and Wales care about rugby.

Obrigada.
The Wales's Nightingale was again all the world's miracle...
A very special rendition of a great song.
Still love this....cannot wait until the RWC 2015!!!!!
I'm speechless. Goosebumps all over. :o)
Truly the best rendition of the Rugby anthem. Well done Wales.
Listen to their voices WOW
I was there that day. Still stirs up strong memories even if it was obvious at the time that it was being mimed.
Excellent version. Still the best
Makes me cry this song it amazing. Just like our anthem. So proud to ne Welsh :) thanks shirly bach :)
best virsiion brought tears to my eyes
truly amazing song and fair play to the welsh they can sing!!!!

This song brings a tear to my eye every time, and I'm not even a Rugby fan
yes, best version.
Kiri te kanawa's version from 1991 still gives me goose bumps (back when i was teenage fullback), but this is a more vibrant version
Both versions are amazing but Paloma faith absolutely butchered it for the 2015 World Cup
Makes you proud to be welsh :) Cymru am Byth
I remember watching this in my mam and dad's bedroom (that's where the spare TV was) and bawling my eyes out. Joined the local team the next day, scored on my debut, then f***ed my knee completely the same year. Had a ton of fun in the meantime though
And so you should be proud to be Welsh,great rugby nation and great singers
Great rendition.
Great song!
this is still the best version, the 2011 version was nice
Maybe the best of all the versions on here - and the Kiri Te Kanawa one takes some beating!
brilliant!
GOD F' Bless the first Lady of Wales. & Brynn. xxx
Best version ever done.. Put the mess that is Paloma Faith's version to shame really doesn't it.
To be fair my version after a few pints does too lol
trousers down on the kiwi effort, will always be the best rendition
Bula from Fiji.
Best sporting song ever. Hands fucking down.
Make me an Aussie one and I WILL wear it, and I am a bloke!!
Bryn sings in Welsh.
🏴
Where can I find the sheet music of this song for duet or choir?
Does anyone know where I can find the Welsh lyrics? :)
When you have the dame u don't need anyone else
wha colours heels is shirley wearing does anyone know??
The roof of the stadium was closed there was no wind?! 1:08
Was this the 1972 Rugby World Cup?
Looks like it was filmed on a remote control.
Al C it was 1999 rugby World Cup
@tontohurley they did not mime this you cant get that echo in a studio like you do in a stadium
Anyone know the Welsh lyrics?
@maxfm82 I thought it made Wales look cheap actually.... I don't like clothes with flags on them... Sorry about that!
It's called delay & is completely normal in such big arenas.
They were Miming... I was there, I can remember looking at their mouths and thinking.... Thats Not Right
Welsh
Was Shirley lip syncing? I'm just wondering cuz it looks maybe if she is. But maybe the video is doing it... I still love her tho.
They both were. Explanation in the description.
Thank you.
“ She doesn’t have the range !! “
This is ALL BLACKS FAN TERRIFIC SONG AND THE SINGER'S ARE AWESOME GIVENS GREAT LOOK FOR OWER GAME
Hayley westenra does best version
Yeah if you're a fan of fucking pop idol, et al manufactured contempory shite. This was sung when national pride in the UK wasn't considered "racist", I remember watching it when I was a kid and being blown away. I remember watching Hayley Westenra "singing" it and wondering who she blew off to get on TV - go figure. And piss off whilst you're at it
No version will ever beat this. Period.
@welshdude56 looks like white
I bet Dame Shirley had a few short, sharp words about being forced to mime in her home City
Not as good as the '95 RWC version sung by PJ Powers and Ladysmith Black Mambazo.
Just looked Paloma Faith's version up ..... was absolutely terrible compared to this
i dont like it
