Driving chiptune with a bass line and a full drum beat. Plays during home matches.

"El Gran Carlemany" — the opening strain, as a chiptune hymn in G major. Lab page only — its composer's death year is disputed (1942 vs 1972), so it is not wired into the game.

"Flower of Scotland" — the first line, as a chiptune anthem in G major. The anthem actually sung at Murrayfield, but Williamson d. 1990, so it cannot ship; keyed off its own name, not anthemSCO, because that key is reserved for what the game plays.

"Scotland the Brave" — public domain melody, so nothing to clear, unlike Flower of Scotland. Transcribed by ear, not parsed from a file, because no parseable source was reachable — the dotted march rhythm is what recall gets wrong. Ships anyway; replace it if a parseable source turns up.

"Pincez tous vos koras" — the sung melody, as a chiptune march in C major. Lab page only — not wired into the game; a fixture with this nation gets the crowd chant instead. See the licence list below.

"Hen Wlad fy Nhadau" — "Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi", as a chiptune anthem in D major.

"Stand and Sing of Zambia, Proud and Free" — the opening strain, as a chiptune hymn in G major. Sontonga's hymn again, so it is close to the South Africa card by design, not by accident.

Darker, grittier theme in G minor. Plays during away matches.

Intense and dramatic. Plays during knockout matches — quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finals.

Plays during the halftime groundskeeper show with crowd noise and animated mowers.

Marching stomps, rising crowd murmur, and referee whistle as teams walk onto the pitch.

Subtle high-pitched chirp when passing the ball between lanes.

Quick two-note hit when a player is tackled.

Two-tone Mario-coin chirp (B5 → E6) for favorable but non-scoring CPU outcomes — opponent missed a kick, lost possession, or knocked on.

Fanfare and crowd cheer when your team scores a try.

Descending "wah-wah-wahhh" stinger and crowd groan when the CPU scores a try.

Short minor sting when the CPU scores 3 points.

Single long referee whistle blast at half time.

Three blasts — the traditional rugby full-time signal.

Throaty growl played during scrums. Each one is randomized.

Looping stadium crowd noise. Plays during packed stadiums, halftime groundskeeper, and last possession when trailing by 7 or fewer.

Looping sparse-crowd bed for a half-empty ground. Plays instead of the Crowd Chant above whenever the stadium is 50% full or less — a minnow-vs-minnow international, or an already-eliminated club late in a league season (attendance bottoms out around 32%). It also carries any Quick Match Friendly or Test that isn't hosted at a Hexa or Quad Nations nation's home ground, no matter how full: a USA v Canada test or a home game in Niue stays on this thin bed with no chants, so a few thousand fans never sound like a packed Twickenham. Career, Hexa Nations, Quad Nations and Global Cup matches always follow the fill rule. Those matches used to be dead silent. Like the packed-crowd loop it swells as the ball carrier nears the try line and deflates for a home crowd losing badly. 75s loop with 1.5s fade-in / fade-out, loudness-normalized to match the chant tracks.

European-stadium singing layer. Loops continuously during matches when music is off, sfx are on, and the stadium is >50% full. The two chant tracks alternate (with a 2s crossfade) so the same one never repeats back-to-back. Volume gets a boost for semi-finals, finals, derbies, and top-4 clashes. A Quick Match Friendly or Test only gets the chants when it's hosted at a Hexa or Quad Nations nation's home ground; any other Quick Match rides the Small Crowd bed above with no singing.

One-shot crowd roar played after any scoring event the home crowd favors (home scores or away misses). In neutral venues — internationals, knockout finals — every score/miss plays it. Only when music is off.

One-shot crowd disappointment played when the home crowd is hurt (home misses or away scores). Never fires in neutral venues. Only when music is off.

~37s pre-match chant played for every New Zealand fixture. Fires after both teams take the field and the kickoff whistle blows, while NZ forms a 1-2-2 wedge facing the opposition. Pre-processed with a high-pass + spectral denoise, 1s fade-in, 1.5s fade-out, and loudness-normalized to match the chant tracks. Fiji (Cibi), Tonga (Sipi Tau), and Samoa (Siva Tau) fixtures also trigger a war-dance overlay; until dedicated recordings ship, those three reuse the Crowd Chant placeholder above.
