A spokesperson has corrected President Joe Biden's gaffe in which he appeared to confuse the All Blacks rugby team with the Black and Tans.
THE WHITE HOUSE has corrected Joe Biden’s gaffe in which the US president appeared to confuse the All Blacks rugby team with the Black and Tans.
The Black and Tans was the name of an auxiliary force of police officers recruited to bolster Royal Irish Constabulary numbers in Ireland during the War of Independence, many of whom gained a violent reputation. “I think, for everyone in Ireland who was a rugby fan, it was incredibly clear that the President was talking about the All Blacks and Ireland’s defeat of the New Zealand team in 2016.”“I think it was clear what the President was referring to, it was certainly clear to his cousin sitting next to him who had played in that match.”
