PIC: English Newspaper Prematurely Congratulates England On Grand Slam Victory

We're not laughing, we swear.

As most of you will know, the Irish rugby team defeated England 13-9 on Saturday, thereby denying the old enemy back-to-back Grand Slams as well as world record for consecutive international victories.

Nobody appeared to tell The Sunday Times digital editions over in England however, as they went with a celebratory article congratulating Eddie Jones' men on victory.

Penned by former England international Stuart Barnes, the piece has got a few people sniggering online:

Oops. The Times have posted a Stuart Barnes article lauding the England rugby team for back to back Grand Slams.
They lost yesterday chaps! pic.twitter.com/F9GxOve23f

To be fair, they are Six Nations champions once more but we weren't going to let them away with this one.
