If you don't get direct info from the list, I suggest two sources:
There's a book called something like "National anthems of the world"
with a piano arrangement of a *lot* of them. Make sure it's up to date,
of course - I don't know if SA has changed its anthem.

I'm sure the relevant embassy would help out. We played the Polish
national anthem re-arranged from a wind-band arrangement that their
embassy sent us. (It would probably have been easier to start from the
piano version...)

For the Irish Question, you'd need to check directly with the Irish
Rugby people, I imagine.  Failing that, play the theme tune from Father
Ted :-)
