A former Wales captain has accused England coach Eddie Jones of "beginning to bring rugby into disrepute" with some of his comments before and after Six Nations matches.
Emyr Lewis, a backrow forward who earned 41 tests caps between 1991 and 1996, said he wished Jones would " shut his mouth up on more occasions".
"I totally disagree with him," Lewis told BBC Wales.

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC.
