And an epic theme it is too - in use since the latter stages of the 2011-12 tournament, and it survived intact the change from ERC to EPCR in 2014 -though for some reason they now play out an edited version in the stadium with random bits chopped out. Almost forgotten now that it was used for the RWC first before becoming associated with European club rugby.

But on France 2007, wasn’t the version of World in Union used that year bilingual French/English?

The 2007 version of World in Union was the oddest official version (excluding Paloma Faith murdering it in 2015) as it was performed by 'All Stars' - a group of classical artists from across the competing nations, rather than any French specific artists like the other versions had (bar 1991 having a New Zealander in Dame Kiri Te Kanawa when the tournament was hosted in Britain & Ireland). It was bilingual, though mainly English.

The full 2007 artist list I believe (those in bold did another official version):
Roberto Alagna, Bryn Terfel, Katherine Jenkins, Russell Watson, Hayley Westenra, Lesley Garrett, Aled Jones, All Angels, Vittorio Grigolo, Jonathan Ansell, Will Martin, RyanDan, Blake, Elin Manahan Thomas, Tommy Flemming, Nicky Spence, The Ten Tenors, Deborah, Danielle de Niese.
