The BBC had to re-edit a Six Nations promo video after it was deemed to be anti-English. The Guardian revealed today that this video is a watered down re-edited version of the original trailer which asked each team's supporters who they like beating the most.
A BBC spokeswoman said 'The creative concept for the Six Nations trail was around fans being united in rivalry.'
'We featured real fans from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland in the trail all talking about who they wanted to beat.
'The non- English fans interviewed for the trail all wanted to beat England which made the first cut of the trail slightly unbalanced.
'We therefore changed the balance of the fans in the next edit to make the trail more representative.'
The first version is up online and after watching it, I can't see what all the fuss it about. Anyhow, personally I always rather beating Wales or France.
