The video, which was filmed in a single-shot by a drone, is set against a soundtrack of legendary rugby voices – including the legendary commentator Bill McClaren – and takes fans on a sensational journey throughout the historic stadium.

The footage sweeps through the team changing rooms, through the tunnel, to the top of the stands – where a lone piper plays, overlooking the pitch. The drone then flies even higher, showing viewers all corners of the 67,144 seater theatre, before flying through the posts at the end of the video.
