Iron Fist Season 2: 17 WTF Moments

3. Ward Throws Shade At Rugby...For Some Reason

In one of the season's final scenes, Ward and Danny board his private plane in order to seek out answers regarding the Iron Fist legacy and his place in it, and Ward makes a weirdly specific crack about rugby.

Speaking of his childhood, Ward says, "I got sent to an expensive boarding school and learned how to play rugby, a sport nobody gives a s*** about." Ouch.

Apart from the fact that, yes, 120 million people watched the Rugby World Cup final back in 2015, this feels like the episode's writers expressing a very personal dislike for the sport.

You have to wonder what Finn Jones, an Englishman of course, thought of this line of barbed dialogue.
