What it says above really - that trumpety tune they play at the restart: stick it on your mobile. Olé!
Da-da-da-da-da-deedle-da-da-daaaaaa! Olé!! Yes, the trumpet fanfare that found fame during the 2007 Rugby World Cup is back, and while it's probably quite annoying for the Namibian players lining up to chase their 42nd restart of the tournament, for the rest of us watching the current tournament far from New Zealand it takes us back to the autumn of '07 - who can forget Chabal's charges, the flying Fijians and the All Blacks getting their Hakas in a twist against France in Cardiff?
The tune itself comes from the bullfighting tradition of Spain and South West France, where towns like Dax, Bayonne and Nimes have week-long Fetes or Ferias during the summer which incorporate bullfights and boozy celebrations. Bullrings often feature a band on the balcony who play during the less interesting moments of each fight, a tradition which has passed into rugby through legendary bandas like the Dax band.
