BBC presenter and Scotland rugby star apologise on air as story of celebrations leaves pundits in stitches

Scotland prop Zander Fagerson was forced to apologise for swearing live on the BBC on Sunday night.

Appearing on the network's Six Nations round-up show, presented by Ugo Monye alongside John Barclay and Sam Warburton, the Lions prop was asked how the celebrations were after their Six Nations win over England on Saturday.

It was a big win for Gregor Townsend's side, proving they are now a team capable of dealing with expectation, having gone into the match with high hopes of defending the Calcutta Cup.

The managed to sneak a 20-17 victory at Murrayfield and it sounds like they enjoyed it afterwards.

"Firstly, how's the head? Decent celebration last night?" Asked Monye innocently.

Then came the response from Scotland's tight-head.

"Yeah, it was good fun. I had an early night and caught up with the family today but I think a few boys definitely ripped the a**e out of it, yeah," he smiled.

Former England wing Monye handled it well as pundits John Barclay and Sam Warburton chuckled at what had just unfolded.

"Okay, we'll just have to apologise for that but I absolutely don't blame you for being over-excited after yesterday's performance."

Raising an apologetic hand, the Scot interjected: "Yeah, sorry!"

Scotland head to Cardiff this weekend, looking to continue their bid for a first Grand Slam in Six Nations history.

Wales, meanwhile, will be desperate to avoid defeat, with tricky encounters against England and France, who have serious title ambitions.
