The Blundering Continues

The screen-capped caption blunder on the TV screen...

You can't make this up.

Only days after the diplomatic kerfuffle in Incheon, South Korea when the 2019 protest song, Glory to Hong Kong was played instead of the Chinese anthem, March of the Volunteers, another mistake happened.

At the Rugby World Cup event in Dubai, March of the Volunteers was played, but the caption on the screen was "Glory to Hong Kong", and below that "National anthem of Hong Kong".

Secretary for Sports, Culture and Tourism Kevin Yeung Yun-hung was not amused.

"I can hardly believe that [mistakes] related to our national anthem were made at rugby matches consecutively within such a short period of time. It is hard to accept," he said, adding the authorities would handle the incident seriously.

The Hong Kong Rugby Union had no idea what was displayed on the screen, nor were they informed the name of the anthem would be displayed on television.

The union said World Rugby had apologised for the mix-up and said the mistake was made by a "graphics operator"...

Meanwhile some people may have fallen in love with rugby now...
