Eddie Jones: 'We’ve played 23 Tests and only lost to the scummy Irish'
Eddie Jones has been left embarrassed after footage emerged of the England head coach making inappropriate comments about Ireland and Wales. The video shows Jones giving a talk on leadership for Fuso, the Japanese parent company of England sponsors Mitsubishi. He tells the audience: 'We’ve played 23 Tests and have only lost one Test to the scummy Irish. I’m still dirty about that game.' Earlier in the talk, Jones discusses Japan's under-20 side losing to their Welsh counterparts after he took over. He said: 'Wales. Who knows Wales? Are there any Welsh people here? So it’s this little shit place that has got three million people. Three million!.' In his apology, released by the Rugby Football Union, Jones said: 'I apologise unreservedly for any offence caused – no excuses and I shouldn’t have said what I did. I’m very sorry.'
