In a lighthearted moment during TNT Sports’ coverage of the Wales vs Argentina match, Sam Warburton brought humor to the broadcast by showcasing a practical demonstration of a rugby technique known as the jackal. The segment featured Warburton, alongside presenters Craig Doyle and Dan Biggar, as they interacted with the audience before kickoff.
Warburton, a former Welsh international renowned for his prowess during rucks, took the lead in explaining the jackal, a crucial aspect of rugby that involves regaining possession after a tackle. As he prepared to illustrate the concept, Warburton humorously acknowledged Doyle’s formidable presence by saying, “you’re powerful, Craig! So take it easy!”
As part of the demonstration, Biggar passed the ball to Doyle, who then approached Warburton. With a swift move, Warburton tackled Doyle to the ground, showcasing the technique effectively. He remarked, “I’m going to hit Craig,” and after making the tackle, continued to emphasize the importance of speed in recovering the ball, stating the need to outmaneuver an opponent, in this case, Biggar, who played the role of the attacker.
Warburton joked about having “a bit of beef off-camera” with Doyle, poking fun at their dynamic while demonstrating the technique. Doyle, lying on the ground, jokingly expressed concern about his back, and Warburton was quick to assist him back to his feet, maintaining a friendly atmosphere on-set.

The playful moment was not lost on Gethin Jones, another presenter on TNT Sports, who took to Instagram to share a photo of Doyle still on the ground with a caption that humorously highlighted the situation: “Having a lovely time, Craig Doyle,” accompanied by laughing emojis.
Despite the lightheartedness of the demonstration, the day did not bode well for the Welsh team, as they faced a challenging match against Argentina, ultimately suffering a record loss. While the overall performance was disappointing, Warburton noted that Wales showed resilience at times, particularly in the closing stages of the game.
The encounter served as a reminder of the sport’s complexities while also providing a glimpse into the camaraderie and humor shared amongst presenters, even when the stakes are high on the field.
