Prior to the Wales versus Ireland rugby match today, the streets of Cardiff rang with the song after Welsh Welsh rugby bosses announced a ban on the Tom Jones classic as its lyrics glorifies domestic violence. The 1968 hit, about a jealous lover stabbing his unfaithful partner, has long been a Welsh rugby fans’ favourite. Sir Tom has previously said the song is not meant to be taken literally and its popularity at rugby matches makes him ‘proud to be Welsh’. Defiant Welsh rugby fans are singing 'Delilah' loudly in streets of Cardiff in spite of sport's bosses banning the songBut bosses are said to have been spooked by a video this week of the Guernsey Welsh male voice choir rehearsing ‘Delilah’ ahead of the clash with England on February 25.
