About Swing Low, Sweet Chariot -
1. This was sung in rugby clubs when I was still a colt and well before Martin Offiah and Chris Oti played senior rugby.
2. It was sung because of the rude gestures that went with it and without any thought of its origins.

3. The world has moved on and, rightly, things that were normal then should not necessarily be normal now.
4. Had today's context be know then it might not have been sung.

4. Amongst other reasons for the RFU encouraging people not to sing it, one of the main ones is that most people only know two verses and it's crap as a national song because it has no relevance to England.
5. It should be celebrated in its rightful context.
