How the Eddie Jones Video Is Dividing Opinion Yesterday afternoon, popular Irish podcast Second Captain tweeted out a clip from last year of England head coach telling an audience that his team had lost to the “scummy Irish” in the 2017 Six Nations. With England hosting Grand Slam-chasing Ireland at Twickenham this weekend, it has certainly got people talking. "We've only lost one test to the scummy Irish…we'll get em back" – Eddie Jones, 2017. Our scummy hands are just going to leave this here?. More on this in today's ????????? special. Plus Ken on Jose. Go get it ? https://t.co/TXILnN6ZbI pic.twitter.com/VGiNjIEcPv — Second Captains (@SecondCaptains) March 14, 2018 In an extended video from the talk for FUSO, a truck manufacturer part-owned by Mitsubishi, posted on YouTube – but that has since been taken down – Jones also says: “Who knows Wales? Are there any Welsh people here? So it’s this little shit place that has got 3m people.

In the wake of that incident, the Australian said: “If you talk about hate and you talk about rubbing people’s nose in the dirt, and all those sorts of things, it incites certain behaviours. Are they the sorts of behaviours that we want to see?” Related: Eddie Jones verbally abused For some Jones has shown hypocrisy with these comments, considering what was said in these clips. Some feel we should move on swiftly, especially after the coach apologised, and others are disgusted. Some are simply stunned. Check out the comments below, from Twitter. Do you agree with any of these? Eddie Jones calling wales a sh*t little place..

Never serious, just gentle digs. https://t.co/cVTd0QNe0Q I know he is in a public position, but surely we all see this for what it is?? SURELY !!!! — Will Carling (@willcarling) March 14, 2018 So a bunch of drunk lads call Eddie Jones a “bald b******” and an “English c***” and the whole world’s up … Continue reading How the Eddie Jones Video Is Dividing Opinion
