This album open and closes with ‘World In Union’ (exception of the bonus Haka track) – which has been adopted as the global anthem for all Rugby World Cups. This Rousing theme has become the only enduring official song for a major international sports event and is recorded anew for each tournament; this year's choice being the hosting nation's own Hayley Westenra.

The 24-year-old singer follows in the footsteps of another of the country's most celebrated singers, fellow New Zealander Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, who topped the charts with her version for the 1991 World Cup.

The World In Union album continues with 20 more stirring tracks from around the globe, featuring the world's most successful singers, that will both unite and inspire.
