'Come here and say it': Eddie Jones' fiery confrontation with Australian fan in the crowd
By AAP
England coach Eddie Jones has engaged in a fiery confrontation with a Wallabies fan, who called him a "traitor" during Saturday's 21-17 victory at the SCG.
Footage posted to social media showed a man wearing a yellow cap with a beer in his hand sledging Jones, who coached the Wallabies between 2001 to 2005.
As his security detail tried to hold him back, Jones pushed past to charge at the man on the fenceline.
"What did you say? What did you say," a furious Jones yelled.
"Come here and say it. Come here and say it. Come here and say it."
The fan appeared shocked by Jones's reaction and backed off.
The coach didn't mention the incident in the post-match press conference but following their Brisbane Test victory said he'd taking great delight in shutting up the crowd.
It came after England captain Courtney Lawes said his team were motivated by "smack" comments made by a number of Australian players in the media in the lead-up t o their SCG win.
"We saw plenty of stuff in the press about some of our players and what they were saying," Lawes said.
"Some people targeting Gengey, (prop Ellis Genge) some people calling us Poms and what not.
"It's all fuel for our tank. Any good team uses that as motivation I think."

McKenzie is better than Barrett , but not better than Richie Mo'unga. Richie regularly outplayed DMac in Super Rugby. , as he did in the 2023 Final in Hamilton. I remember the 2021 Aotearoa Super Rugby Final here in CHCH. Mo'unga took him to the cleaners. McKenzie is a fine footballer , but at best a hybrid 10 . Fergus Burke , ( now playing in England ), who made a big difference when he came back late in the Crusaders season , is a better 10 than DMac. I also think 140 game + Crusader Matt Todd was always a better no 7 than Sam Cane.A big part of 3 title winning teams when South African teams were still in the comp. How many titles did the Chiefs win in that period of time?
