This song alone is a good reason why rugby is the greatest sport in the entire world. The rugby culture is the healthiest and most vibrant of any sport I have ever seen.
Listening to this and watching my favourite player of all time, Jonah Lomu from the All Blacks, was such a great privilege. A memory I'll never forget 🇳🇿
I remember this song as a child. This song is timeless, gives hope, magnificently sung with such conviction .. I’ll always remember this song, fills my heart with hope, peace and courage ❤
From the 1995 South Africa rwc version to Ria Halls version of the 2011 rwc, this is the first time I have heard Dame Kiri Te Kanawas version, and now my favourite, Wow 🤩 what a voice
I remember hearing this as a child when the World Cup was about to begin. It filled me with such hope and belief.... and then the ABs lost in the semi to Australia, who won the whole bloody thing. I didn't believe in nothin' no more, man.
It Is july 2022... First time I hear this Song my father brought me back from England a VHS of the Rugby World Cup 1991 (best try).... I totally fall in Love with this Song, in my opinion the best Version of RWC anthem. I was 2, now I'm 33, After 31 year I still listening It ❤️ Cheers from Italy!
Wow first time I've seen it. Love they show all the different countries who play rugby. We sung this when I was a child at school in NZ. It was called "I vow"
This song was part of my childhood. 10 years old in the UK. Remember this world cup so well - mainly because of this song. Evokes memories not just of Rugby but my childhood at that time. So powerful.
Robert Trindade New Zealand is the only nation in the entire universe where indigenous culture is interwoven with its European culture. Even though they had to fight to establish it. They have done well in bringing diversity and unity together.
Amen, as well as against totalitarian forces that seek to use Covid-19 to destroy our societies with racism, discrimination, and other forces that seek to divide us.

Heard this song long time ago when I was a child, loved it till now , never knew it had anything to do with rugby though .Great performance, great operatic voice, love Kiri the kanawa's version.
Racism, killings, wars, diseases, human abuses, poverty, terrorism etc must be ended up in making this world centre of happiness and LOVE OF GOD, not in the way we live, thanks more DAMME KIRI TE KANAWA for encouraging world to unite
This beautiful song has so much love and strength...it should be remembered also for covid19... and the Rugby Anthem of course.....and Dame Kiri sings it with such conviction and love.....this operatic singer in my book is outstanding.....and if my mother who loved OPERA more than life itself..... died 29 years ago and she never mentioned this beautiful singer to me...!!!!
The world must be one family, but not in the current situation we are, the song encouraging world to be in one union as one family in reaching destiny to make everyone happy and celebrate creation of THE ALMIGHTY GOD to be part of this world, if GOD is one so the world must be one family unity and we are back to him in the kingdom as one family.
Dame Kiri has many styles besides opera but she did Broadway, pop country, rhythm & blues and rock & roll - the Grammy Award winning legend has it all on her resume. For 1992's "World in Union" for Sony Music Entertainment she entirely sound more different than anybody else. Joining Dame Kiri was Grammy Award nominated opera singer and vocalist Paulette Carlson (Mrs. Randy Smith, 1978-present) of Angel Classics.
Beautifully sung! Inspiring. Such a shame we will not experience the longed for union of all peoples. Someone is at someone else's throat throughout the world every minute of every day. Just wish that asteroid would hurry up and get here and end this experiment of humans on this planet.
I used to think the Katherine Jenkins version of "World in Union" was the best - but that was before I heard Dame Kiri Te Kanawa. Interestingly, Katherine Jenkins version has a more operatic feel - but this version is far more natural.
The composer is Gustav Holst. This was from the tune "Thaxted". Sadly, Gustav Holst was a late 1800's and early 1900's. You can also check out the song "I Vow To Thee My Country". It has the same tune.
You forget there was a sport boycott because of Apartheid, which has been in place since the mid 70’s. I think it would’ve been awesome to watch the players of Caribbean play cricket against South Africa and have the likes of Clive Lloyd and Viv Richards take them apart in crowds of Johannesburg. That would definitely would’ve caused a racket with there African population seeing black people destroy the supremacy of Whites.
How or why the hell this isn’t on Spotify, is beyond me!! It’s by far, by FAR the best and most memorable version. You simply can’t beat the original!
Nothing comes close to this version. I love this Lady's voice. ❤
This song alone is a good reason why rugby is the greatest sport in the entire world. The rugby culture is the healthiest and most vibrant of any sport I have ever seen.
Ms Te Kanawa sang with the brilliance that is the hallmark of her career! Beautiful woman with remarkable talent!! ❤
Listening to this and watching my favourite player of all time, Jonah Lomu from the All Blacks, was such a great privilege. A memory I'll never forget 🇳🇿
Sólo una mujer tan hermosa como ésta, puede tener esa voz tan angelical. Una mujer sublime, manifestando su arte.....
I remember this song as a child. This song is timeless, gives hope, magnificently sung with such conviction .. I’ll always remember this song, fills my heart with hope, peace and courage ❤
Put respect on her name. Thats DAME Kiri Te Kanawa! The OG
She earned it!
What a voice she is a diva from New Zealand
From the 1995 South Africa rwc version to Ria Halls version of the 2011 rwc, this is the first time I have heard Dame Kiri Te Kanawas version, and now my favourite, Wow 🤩 what a voice
So beautiful, so uplifting, it touches the soul.

20+ years on Dame Kiri's version brings back so many memories of the '91 & '95 World Cup. Mesmerising voice...
This song was part of my childhood. 10 years old in the UK. Remember this world cup so well - mainly because of this song. Evokes memories not just of Rugby but my childhood at that time. So powerful.
This song takes me to my school days, my favorite team springboks, watching rugby in star sports.
I feel so proud to be from new zealand

My first time seeing and hearing this ... beautiful
This deserves to be the anthem of United Nations or the anthem of the Earth
Remember this from the 1991 world cup. Takes me back to my teenage years as a full-black/ winger.

Thanks to ABC Classic FM for playing this song in 1991... still sounds as great now as it did then!

Rubbish, Maori Dame Kiri couldn't sound more different than Hayley West
Haley was trying to sing at Hagley Park she couldn't sing a cross-over lick

Seen a few remakes of this song. No competition. Dame Kiri's will always be on top.
Agreed! 👏🏼 Simply can’t beat the original.
The one that stays with you - all the way to the top!
Incredible ✨

Listen to the wonderful music.
Stay at home. Be helpful. But keep distance.
We are a "World in Union".
Amen 😌
The orchestra just played this tune at the kings Coronation. I hope Gustav Holt offspring get some royalties 😂.
“King” Charles.. is actually the AntiChrist. And no, I’m not joking or messing around.
Why was this song so suddenly forgotten?

It moves us every step of the way!

Holst from Júpiter.

does any know who wrote this anthem?
Roy J. Lunga The lyrics are by Charlie Skarbek, but I don't know the composer.
Thank you Jacob, do you know what nationality he is?

I like the 80s instrumental
South Africa should have been in the first two Rugby World Cups in 1987 & 1991.
