African singer wows rugby fans with his version of the Australian National Anthem

Rugby fans hailed an African singer's version of the Australian national anthem at the Bledisloe Cup the 'best ever'.

David Nduwimana sang Advance Australia Fair before the third match of the rugby series between the Australian Wallabies and New Zealand All Blacks at ANZ Stadium on Saturday night. 

His passionate rendition of the anthem had the Wallabies up in arms and roaring the lyrics before their clash with their arch rivals. 

Mr Nduwimana left his family behind and fled from African country Burundi seven years ago, in the leadup to a military coup, before settling in Australia. 

He arrived with an economics degree and a guitar and did not know a single person in the country, but wanted to immerse himself in Australian culture. 

A chance meeting with Rugby Australia interim chief executive Rob Clarke and his wife Kylie at St Matthews Church in Manly in 2016 set Mr Nduwimana's life on track in Australia.
