I never sing the national anthem
I think Rugby should players should sing Jerusalem like the players did in the world cup a few years, its far more a rousing anthem than god save the friggin queen

Or, you're a person who knows how to conduct a debate. The guy making the claim that all people should sing, is the one who must provide some support for his claim. You haven't done.

I didn't notice this myself, did he not sing it? If not, could there have been a reason for it? Perhaps he couldn't hear the music? Perhaps any footage shown of him not singing it was from an earlier moment? Who knows? Any facts anyone?

It could just be that he was doing what people are actually supposed to do during the playing of the Anthem; standing to attention.

Am a fan; was a player. Unfortunately, I was never good enough to have to stand to attention and sing "Amhran na bhFiann" though :D.

There's no compulsion to sing the anthem though.
