February 13, 201016 yr Hoots mon… where’s your troosers: The moment a rugby fan revealed a little TOO much By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 4:49 PM on 13th February 2010 Comments (16) Add to My Stories They will be weeping north of the border tonight after losing to Wales. But there will be a few titters as well after a Scottish fan dropped his kilt and lifted his top on BBC Wales Today during a preview segment for the Wales vs Scotland match. Fellow fans at the Glynneath Rugby Club were seen laughing in the background as the unknown prankster revelled in the spotlight. But viewers were not so amused by the impromptu display and the BBC was forced to apologise. Indecent exposure: A rugby fan, second from left, lifts his kilt during a live bulletin on BBC Wales Today (we've covered his modesty with a strategically placed rugby ball) Viewers took to message boards to complain about the incident shortly after the programme aired last night. One poster, writing as JohnB, said he had been watching the show with his young daughter and found the prank ‘disgusting.’ ‘This indecent exposure was obviously pre-planned and once again, the BBC in their naivety, fell for it,’ he wrote on the WalesOnline.co.uk site. ‘The Scotsmen were not being filmed casually - they were all lined up as if on identity parade. 'I was watching with my 12-year-old daughter and it was not funny - just disgusting.’ More... Wales 31 Scotland 24: Dragons punish ill-discipline to snatch scintillating last-gasp victory Gail Morris Jones, the programme’s editor, said: 'BBC Wales Today is a live programme and unfortunately one rugby fan got carried away with the moment. 'We always strive to ensure that our contributors act appropriately and we know that many people will have been offended this evening. We sincerely apologise for any offence caused.' Kilted up: The group of men pose together just moments before the incident The show of support came ahead of a sensational clash at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, and almost looked like it would help Scotland to victory at one stage. In one of the most exciting Six Nations matches of recent rugby history, underdogs Scotland went into half-time 18-9 up. With just 10 minutes to go, they were still leading 24-14 and had their first victory in Cardiff since 2002 in their sights. But when one of their number was sent to the sin bin seven minutes before the end, their game began to unravel and Wales regained the upper hand. Scottish heartbreak: Wales' Shane Williams sealed victory in the Six Nations clash by scoring a try in the final play of the game A first try by Wales after the error was disallowed but they returned to score again and this time converted to be within three points. Scotland then conceded a penalty in front of the post to put them on 24 a piece and both sides returned to the half way point for the final play of the match. It ended in heartbreak for Scotland as even a drawer slipped from their grasp when Shane Williams jubilantly added another try under the posts. With the conversion, the score line ended up Wales 31 and Scotland 24 - with the visitors only able to wonder what could have been. For the mystery kilt-lifter, the result will have been another cold blast of air.
