Legend.
Ahead of Ireland’s Six Nations encounter with Italy last weekend we were treated to an extraordinary rendition of Ireland’s Call that had the whole world talking.
Steve Mulrooney, a young Irish fan from Kilkenny, was given the opportunity to belt out Ireland’s rugby anthem ahead of kick-off, with many hailing it as the best-ever rendition of the song to date.
Stevie went viral last year following his appearance on the Late Late Show, where he said it would be a dream come true to sing the Irish Rugby anthem at the Aviva Stadium one day.
After living out his dream last Sunday, Ireland boss Andy Farrell added a cherry on top by inviting him to one of their training sessions, and presenting him with a jersey signed by the entire Irish Rugby team.

Farrell asked young Stevie if he was nervous on Sunday, to which he replied:
“I’m never nervous when I sing.
“I was a bit nervous of the crowd but once I got singing…yeah it was just a breeze to go through it.”
What an absolute legend. Let’s hope this is not the last time we see him sing Ireland’s Call.
