Videos emerge of two incidents during England series decider Rugby Australia condemns fans as ‘totally unacceptable”
Eddie Jones was embroiled in angry exchanges with Australian supporters, who accused the England head coach of being “a traitor”, following the series decider in Sydney on Saturday. Rugby Australia has condemned the behaviour as “totally unacceptable” after videos emerged on social media in which Jones reacted furiously to the insults.
Videos of two separate incidents came to light after England’s 21-17 win in Sydney to clinch the series. In one of the incidents, a supporter, who is seen holding a beer, can be heard being urged to “spray” Australia-born Jones before pointing at the former Wallabies head coach and saying “you’re a traitor”. Jones, who was with security guards from the Rugby Football Union and the stadium at the time, evidently takes offence to the jibe and approaches the fan, before responding: “What did you say? What did you say? Come here and say it. Come here and say it. Come here and say it.”
