Yesterday.
A video showing England rugby’s head coach Eddie Jones saying ‘…we’ve only lost one test to the scummy Irish’ surfaced.
The video was uploaded to YouTube in July of last year but was played on Off The Ball yesterday and OTB posted it on Twitter yesterday afternoon.
Last night Mr Jones apologised.
Ireland faces England in the final round of the 2018 NatWest 6 Nations on Saturday.
SCRUM!
Eddie Jones apologises for ‘scummy Irish’ slur (RTE)
Thanks Noel

Certainly not the first time Jones engaged mouth before brain was in action. The fact the remarks were made over 7 months ago at a seminar and are only surfacing now before a crucial match is genius propaganda.
Ireland for the Frand Jam (don’t want to hex it by saying or typing it).
its motivational, rile up the fans
It was because Ireland spoiled their Grand Slam last year. They’d already won the 6 Nations the week before though. Sound familiar :-o
The guy behind him is Irish. It may have been crass but it was said in jest.
He wasn’t far wrong in fairness
Really?
Self hating Irish person…sad.
Second Captains played this clip yesterday way before OTB got to it.
harmless
Did he mean ‘scrummy’?
His comments are fairly harmless, of much more concern is this story

Having one of the match officials involved in your weeks training is so incredibly fishy, I can’t understand how any of the parties thought it was a good idea.
that’s more than fishy Rotter
I know refs consult with teams regularly on a private gig arrangement, but usually off season or if the ref is not involved in any of their upcoming games etc
but not one as closely connected as this
Yer man will have to be stood down
Couldn’t agree more, Difficult to see how he can stay on the panel of officials now
He’s been replaced…

He also called Wales ‘a little shi* place with 3 million people”
Hello?
He’s takin’ the pee-wees :)
Next!
Is he a bit p*sh*d in this video?
I could not care less what he thinks of us or says of us ; what he thinks is his business and as for what he says…you can only be insulted if you take the bait ; hope it spurs the boys on though
It’s not as if you don’t hear anti English stuff in sport here. Pot kettle black, although disappointing when it’s officials to blame.
Scummy? Hmmm. I don’t think his heart or brain were in this. I’ve never heard that one before. He should have stuck to the traditional national slurs like, inbred, stupid, drunk, cowardly etc.
Sir, inbred, stupid, scummy and cowardly I may be but never drunk! *hic*

Ah sure aren’t we great and doesn’t everybody love us.
His comments are so upsetting.Really really upsetting.
