Yep, I couldn't agree more with you.

That maybe well and true, but he still doesn't deserve to be bullied on a train.

This

Disgraceful stuff

Is there any quotes about what the comments actually were?

strange route for Scotland rugby fans to be on an early Sunday train the day after a game.

I thought they were english who were pissed off at their team being humped the day before...

Was fotunate enough to participate in a session he coached and can’t speak highly enough of him. Incredibly knowledgeable, passionate and put 100% into what he was doing. Stayed around afterwards, had time for everyone, and told plenty of good stories. Spoke the next evening at a sold out charity dinner. A few days after he left I was talking to one of the organizers who said he’d quietly donated his speaking fee to the cause.

Though his comments, putting blame on Hastings and Berghan 'inciting comments' show him to be an utter hypocrite. He loves to stir the pot himself, playing the media game and picking on individual players.

There are no excuses for the supporters' behaviour, but if he wants to see a more respectful world, he should start practicing what he preaches himself first.

He is a total twat who ruins the game for me, but he doesn't deserve to get abused on a bus or train in his private time. Nobody deserves that really, unless they're in a process of abusing someone else. Which I concede he may well have been doing.

I agree with both of you, although I'm enjoying the personal moral dilemma here... it's Eddie Jones after all.

You're just sorry it didn't happen in NZ.

Little chance of it happening in NZ.....bugger all trains.....

....now if I'd been Stephen Jones.....yeah....we'd probably have been the guilty party....

No, I think you're sorry that didn't happen

Grievous, spewing outrage. Pent up, bitter, delicious outrage.

Holy crap.

I just fell down a YouTube rabbit hole featuring videos of drunk Scots yelling at each other in chip shops.

Wow.

holy shit, just a few seconds of that was enough to convince me... Eddie would have been shitting himself.

There's one in the related videos which is of a woman going berko at a fish and chip shop and some dude films her. I understood 1-2 words out of 5 they were saying.

There were problems at the game for English supporters as well.

It would not have happened in Japan.

Shame. I recall the home nations soccerball was eventually cancelled because of the behaviour of the scots.

Unlikely the perpetrator had anything other than a passing 'hatred' interest in English rugby, and he obviously met many more on the journey that weren't soccer idiots. Unfortunately it only takes one or two dickheads.

+1. He probably started it anyway. He starts most of these things.

Yeah I was initially assuming it was disgruntled English fans. If it's Scottish fans ... hmmm ... I'm not sure which is worse.

He will always rate highly with me for his reply to the question of what was required for genuine change in rugby in Japan, this at a dinner at a private club with no media.

"Wait till the heads of all the prefecture unions are in the JRFU headquarters and drop a bomb on the building"

That's got to be intimidating for a guy Eddies age and size, and goes beyond just abuse.

Yeah that's disgraceful.

Sickening behaviour.

Hopefully the perpetrators can be identified and charged under Section 4 Public Order Offence.

f**king scumbags. His minders should have twatted that scrawny ginger prick.

This is not what our game is about. Police need to do them for harassment.

Now the evidence is out I hope the wit kant are identified. If they are members of a rugby club they need banned.

Has to be a comedy sketch, no way could that ginger stereotype be anything but a crisis actor.

Abusing an old guy who stopped for a photo? Well out of order.

I just knew that this incident in England involving an Australian and some Scots has to be about kiwis somehow.

Good old grievy

I thought “Baldy C$&t” was a term of endearment in Scotland?

They are Scottish so are more likely to be Remain. But well done for hammering that in where it's irrelevant.

It is that sort of behaviour that ruins...RUINS!...the game. The total twat!

I also thought it was England fans having a go at Jones. Makes no difference though - the behaviour is unacceptable either way, and I trust the incident was reported to the police.

I still think blaming Hastings is pretty tenuous though.
