A kid got hiccups during the Aussie national anthem last night, and became an instant hero

He bravely battled on.

HICCUPS ALWAYS strike at the worst possible time. Just ask this young lad.

Seven-year-old Ethan was chosen to sing the Australian national anthem at a baseball game between Brisbane and Adelaide last night. Unfortunately, he got the hiccups just as he was about to sing.

You can see him hesitate a little as the music begins, but he’s not too phased by what’s to come…

And the players soon turn around to look at him…

But absolutely nothing deters him from seeing the national anthem to its finish, and getting a huge round of applause from the crowd. What a trooper. Go on my son!

    That’s why these two will continue being used as tackle bags and water boys.

    Says more about Schmidt not willing to trust the few naturally creative players we have!

    Water boys ? I guess as water boys go they are pretty successful ones. Top players with their provinces and Irish Internationals and more that likely going to hold down their respective positions at that level too.

    Well. It doesn’t, though. Also, if Madigan is anything he’s a creative player. Say what you want about his game management, I’d probably agree.

    Schmidt has made no comment on the matter, is my point.

    While I agree Zebo should start in this years Six,Nations or at least on the bench (11.Earls/Zebo 15.Payne with Fitzgerald at 13 & 14. Trimble / Earls ) as he has great pace and individual flare and is a great playmaker as seen against Romania but isn’t a Fullback , Jackson on the other hand is clearly Ireland’s 3rd choice which isn’t an insult considering Sexton is the best 10 in Southern Hemisphere & Madigan one of the worlds best place-kickers

    Young guys having a bit of fun. For sure before the court at next Irish squad session. Morale will need a boost after QF exit. Good for team spirit. Well done wee Paddy & Zeebs.
