Best rejects Jones’s anti-Irish slurs ahead of England showdown

RORY BEST will not use Eddie Jones’s “scummy Irish” comments as part of his team talk ahead of tomorrow’s grand slam battle with England.

Ireland will chase just a third-ever Six Nations clean sweep with victory over England at Twickenham this weekend.

England boss Jones has apologised twice this week after a video surfaced on Wednesday, in which he used disgusting slurs to criticise Joe Schmidt’s team and called Wales a “little shit place.”
