Anti-England ad

A Six Nations ad that was originally banned for being anti-English has gone viral after it was leaked online.

The BBC commercial shows fans from Ireland, Wales, Scotland and Italy all dressed in their own gear but apparently cheering wildly for England.

The concluding scene, however, shows they were barracking for the team they want to beat most.

The BBC screened the ad for Six Nations promotion in 2012 but were forced to pull it after complaints it was too anti-English.

A more England-friendly version was created and shown but the original cut has re-surfaced and is doing the rounds online.
