On Saturday afternoon, Jane Hill, a broadcaster on BBC One, was forced to apologize for a live blunder. She had introduced the next segment saying, "Now it's the final weekend of the Rugby Union Six Nations, and Ireland have just kicked off against England. Ireland are hoping to secure the title, but France's win against Wales earlier kept alive their hopes of remaining champions. Ben Croucher has been watching." However, the clip then cut to a picture of a 'Make America Great Again' rally, where there were hundreds of people in a crowded room amongst American flags. Jane Hill then expressed her shock and apologized for the mistake, saying, "That is absolutely not the sort of story, we don't want to be bringing you on a very big sporting weekend as it is. I do apologize, I hope we'll have more on the Six Nations later on."

Jane Hill was required to issue an apology on BBC One at 5.20pm after a slip-up. She had introduced the next segment by saying: 'Now it's the final weekend of the Rugby Union Six Nations, and Ireland have just kicked off against England. Ireland are hoping to secure the title, but France's win against Wales earlier kept alive their hopes of remaining champions. Ben Croucher has been watching.' However, instead of the report on the game, a 'Make America Great Again' rally image was shown, with many people in a crowded room surrounded by American flags. Hill expressed her shock, saying 'Goodness, I am so sorry. That is absolutely not the sort of story, we don't want to be bringing you on a very big sporting weekend as it is. I do apologise, I hope we'll have more on the Six Nations later on.'
