Q.7 (bonus)
A few months before the recent Commonwealth Games, the Commonwealth Games Council for England polled a sample of the English public, giving them three choices. As a result of the vote, they chose something in place of what they used earlier. This now matches the choice of the English men's Test cricket team and the English women's Lacrosse team.
What change?
After this poll, the English Commonwealth Games squad has switched to "Jerusalem", which will be played during medal ceremonies. The football and rugby teams continue to use "God Save the Queen".
