Rugby presenter Emma Jones has fought back after she was heavily criticised on social media for her choice of dress.
Aside from presenting Premier Sports rugby coverage, Jones also works for the BBC and Leeds United
She posted a photo on Twitter wearing a tight fitting dress on a rugby pitch, writing: “Bets on how long this dress stays this colour…”
Jones later posted the same image on her Instagram saying: “This dress sat through a 3-course meal and came away unscathed. I don't even know who I am anymore!”
Talk Sport breakfast host Laura Woods, who was previously in a long-term relationship with England international Alex Corbisiero, also offered her support.
She said: “What some people don’t get is…you're allowed to be both! You're smart and you're beautiful. One shouldn't and doesn't cancel out the other. I absolutely love seeing other people's glams, women AND men. And if you stopped posting them I'd be pretty disappointed tbh."

- 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. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
