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."
England new generation and their partners, from Alan Shearer’s daughter to London model
The future is undoubtedly bright for England with a bright group of young talents breaking into the senior team.
They will all be pushing for a place in the squad to face Australia next weekend as Eddie Jones' men take on the Wallabies in their series decider in Sydney.
Ahead of the biggest international game of their careers, we take a look at some of their significant others who've helped keep them grounded.

“What I made to the gram,” Kelsey says, amazed, after seeing Harry’s post. However, further information related to Kelsey is not available.
Thank you to the overwhelming majority of you who have called out the few misogynists & dinosaurs in the replies to this. Unfortunately it’s usually those people who shout the loudest.
I was hosting an awards ceremony & I felt lovely in my new dress, so I wanted to share it 🥰
