BBC appears to have pulled a controversial Wales v England Six Nations trailer after it sparked a furious public reaction across social media.
The trailer, which asked “What is good about England?”, featured a series of speechless Welsh fans who could only muster blank expressions in answer to the question.
To some it was just a bit of fun but many found it disrespectful and embarrassing.
Here is how social media reacted…
@BBCWales an absolutely awful, childish, embarrassing, pathetic film. Whoever signed this off needs to take a long look at themselves.

Wales face England at the Principality Stadium on Saturday afternoon, with both sides still hoping to be crowned Six Nations champions next month after winning their opening matches.
