Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion,
enwogiion o fri;
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr,
gwladgarwyr tra mad,
Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed.
Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.
Tra mor yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.
There's already been an amazing response to our charity wristbands campaign.
We've launched red charity wristbands so that you can show your support for our Wales squad in the Rugby World Cup AND raise money for the brilliant Welsh cancer charity Tenovus.
The wristbands are available in all 40 of Tenovus's Welsh stores, at WRU outlets, at Media Wales head office in Cardiff (Six Park Street) at Admiral's Head Office and at HSBC outlets across South Wales.
They're also available online - click on the link on our home page or via http://www.tenovus.org.uk/go-shopping/come-on-wales!-.aspx.
The wristbands cost £1 and ALL the proceeds go to Tenovus.
We launched them on Saturday and already 12 of the Tenovus stores are having to be re-stocked after selling out.
The Wales squad left for New Zealand with their wristbands and they're delighted with the campaign - seeing it as a great way of raising money for cancer and also as a help to them - as a visible sign of the fantastic support they get from the Welsh rugby-loving public.
So join the campaign, wear your wristband, support our boys and do your bit to help those with cancer too.
Come on Wales!
On Tuesday there'll be an exciting addition to the fantastic rugby coverage you expect, and receive, from WalesOnline - a dedicated Rugby World Cup site filled with up-to-the-minute news from the Welsh camp, profiles of all the teams, video highlights from Wales' matches and much more...

Jamie Powell
I’m Jamie Powell, a Welsh rugby exile living in east Sussex. My parents are from Ebbw Vale so growing up there was only one team for me to support! I watch all the Wales games and also try and watch as many club games as possible. I have also started to go to London Welsh games.
Lauren Murphy
Exiled Wirraller and Ospreylian trapped in the capital; by day I sort out the lives of others but by weekend I report on all things rugby for the womenfolk of this fair hemisphere.
When I’m not aiding and abetting the hot flushes of the femmes of terraces around the land, I help report on the RaboDirect Pro12 for some of the more serious websites, so I’ll be here to bring you the lighter side of goings on.
Jon North
My name is Jonathan North and as head photographer for Welsh photographic agency ASI I get to see a lot of Welsh rugby from up close. Through my work I enjoy rugby at all levels from the local club game right through to the national side.
In my blog I try and share my experiences from pitchside and the opinions that form there. As well as that I also include my latest photographic work to accompany my tales from the touchline.
Simon Lister
I live in Birmingham, raised in Swansea, I’ve just turned 32. I live with my wife, I’m a Welsh rugby fan as well as a huge Swans and Ospreys fan. Myself and a group of friends go away to Edinburgh/Ireland every year for the away fixture in the Six nations.
I get more excited about the Six Nations than I do about Christmas. It’s going to be a very difficult campaign with expectation very high due to us making the semi-finals of the World Cup. We have very difficult away fixtures in Dublin & Twickenham. I manage to follow most regional games on the internet so I’m able to see who’s in form etc. I shall be in Dublin in February for the fixture. I’m looking forward to seeing the Welsh players back at their regions, hopefully they will maintain their high standards.
Kumari Tilakawardane
I'm a student from North Wales – where, believe it or not, we know as much about rugby as do those in the south! I am a former captain of the Gogledd Cymru Girls U18 Team as well as being a qualified coach and referee.
I fancy I could give Gatland a run for his money and I'm almost always convinced I'm right and the ref's wrong – something I have in common with most of Wales I think, particularly after recent events...
As a lock and Number 8 I am an ardent supporter of the pack. Not one to shy away from confrontation on the field, the same goes for my reporting. Currently located in London, living with the enemy, so to speak... I have to make my opinion heard down here. So, let me hear you... Come on Cymru!

American with Welsh heritage and a deep love of Welsh rugby in her blood. So much so I blog from Los Angeles where International games are on at 6am!

My name is Sebastian Barrett. I'm from Cardiff. Like most Welshmen, I view rugby as the be all and end all.

34 years old, but I look 44. I work in advertising and if rugby OCD is a legitimate syndrome, then I have it.
