Princess Anne had a delightful mix-up at the Six Nations clash between England and Scotland! While greeting the England team, she confused prop Joe Heyes with former teammate Joe Marler. Marler, known for his TV antics on Celebrity Traitors, was understandably the source of the confusion. Joe Heyes took it in stride, admitting that he was too starstruck to correct the royal error. “I almost went with it!” he confessed, adding it was a memorable moment to meet rugby union patrons. 🏉
Meanwhile, England couldn’t break their Murrayfield curse, losing 31-20. In an attempt to turn the tide, head coach Steve Borthwick has made a few strategic team changes for the upcoming game against Ireland. Watch out for Henry Pollock, who’s making his first Test start! The 21-year-old has already impressed the crowd with his energy and skill, and Heyes is confident in Pollock’s potential to shine in the number eight jersey. 🌟
Also, congrats to Maro Itoje, who’s about to earn his 100th cap for England this weekend. Known as a brilliant leader on and off the pitch, Itoje’s milestone is a testament to his dedication and influence in the squad.
