Stevie Mulrooney, who previously appeared on The Late Late Toy Show has won praise for his performance of Ireland’s Call during Sunday’s Six Nations game.
The eight-year-old who hails from Co. Kilkenny came to national prominence when he sang the song on The Late Late Toy Show back in November.

Sorry Stevie, but you’re going to have to sing Ireland’s Call at every game.
