The BBC’s live-text subtitles once got its wires crossed to the extent that viewers were treated to a line that read: “We’ll now have a moment’s violence for the Queen Mother.”
Hopefully, there was some silence as well.
Anyway, there was no danger of any wires being crossed when Justin Tipuric sat down over Zoom to look ahead to the England-Wales Guinness Six Nations game this weekend. The celebrated openside flanker was entirely amiable and happy to discuss pretty much anything and everything game-related. The only topic off limits was the injury which has sidelined him for the rest of the season.
