The statement by Stephen Jones in today’s edition of ‘The Sunday Times’ (October 13, 2019) referring to the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) being ‘vehemently opposed’ to any rearrangement of the Scotland v Japan Rugby World Cup fixture is completely false and the inference within the article that the IRFU made representations to World Rugby on the matter is totally without foundation.
The Irish Rugby Football Union calls on Stephen Jones to immediately withdraw this scurrilous and untrue allegation.
