Scottish Rugby says it is appalled by Jones abuse
Print Edition
Scottish Rugby said it was appalled at the verbal abuse suffered by England coach Eddie Jones as he returned home via Manchester from his side’s Six Nations defeat at the weekend.
The Australian said he would not use public transport again after the incident which was captured on video. “Scottish Rugby is appalled by the verbal abuse suffered by Eddie Jones,” a statement said. “The disgusting behavior of those involved does not represent the values of our sport or its fans.” Jones, who had led England to 24 victories in 25 games before the 13-25 loss in Edinburgh, was surrounded, apparently by Scotland supporters, at Manchester’s Oxford Road Station. After posing for selfies he was verbally abused before getting into a waiting car. Jones attended Manchester United’s Premier League game against Chelsea at Old Trafford on Sunday. “I’ll make sure I won’t in future. It’s as simple as that,” Jones told the BBC. “I’m a human being. I don’t consider myself any different from anyone else, so for me to travel on public transport I thought was okay.”
