    Mmmmm Bono's special sauce

    Tho, tbh, that looks like really badly made 2 mins noodles. What the fuck is the humongous ladle on his plate for?

            At least, for their sake, Bono didn't sing....

              I just assumed that it was potato in some form or other (it really doesn't look good).

                  That's odd given Paul Hewson moved to the Netherlands for tax purposes...

                    This is a big story this morning in the UK. Have I missed something?

                    A reporter got their facts wrong. Eddie made a (quite funny) joke about it. The reporter didn't see the funny side of it. Challenged Eddie afterwards. Eddie apologised if any offensive was taken and shook the reporter's hand.

                    Storm in a tea cup IMHO.

                        Looks like Jones got it wrong, not the journo.

                        Jones couldn't differentiate between meditation and mindfulness and then call the journo out for implied racism.

                                Video of the press conference. A female reporter (not a voice I recognise) .

                                Rather strange that after Eddie Jones said he wasn't into celebrity in reference to Bono that she invited him to opine on Caroline Flack.

                                Clearly certain Rugby reporters need to report on the game more.

                                      He's a year too late to be able to discuss what its like to be massively overrated by your fans when the rest of the world thinks you're a bit shit. Do you reckon he snuck their latest album onto the teams phones without them asking for it?
