The Third

[Maori Chant] [Verse] Lights blaze over the mud-streaked field Hearts pound, every sinew and shield Whistles fade, but the echoes still call In the final scrum, where we stand tall [Chorus] In the third, where rivals yield Handshakes warm in the winter’s chill From fierce foes to brothers in arms In the third, where the true spirit warms [Chorus] Cleats clink in a rhythmic march Laughing eyes under victory’s arch Old tales spun, new friendships form In the jersey swap of the post-game storm [Chorus] In the third, where rivals yield Handshakes warm in the winter’s chill From fierce foes to brothers in arms In the third, where the true spirit warms [Outro] As the floodlights dim, our spirits glow Together bonded, in rugby we grow [Crowd Chants] [End]
