Former England Winger Ugo Monye pulled a prank on former Wales captain Sam Warburton, in the BBC Sport analysis of England’s victory over Wales.

Ugo Monye sets up the joke by stating to Warburton “Sam, we’re going to talk about Wales and we did actually find some positives. Check this one out.”
Monye then rolls the clip of the final whistle being blown at the Principality Stadium, bringing an end to Wales’ defeat to England. Monye jokes with the former British and Irish Lion, “Yeah, that’s the final whistle Sam.” with all the matchday pundits appreciating the humour.
Warburton certainly fell for the prank, as he seemed shocked at the plan to discuss Wales’ positives. “I was actually thinking, ‘what have they got?’, I haven’t seen this.” It goes to show how despite the centuries old rivalry between England and Wales, there still is plenty of room for jokes and good humour in rugby.
