BBC Wales appears to have pulled a controversial Wales v England Six Nations trailer after it sparked a furious public reaction.

The trailer, which asked "What is good about England?", featured a series of speechless Welsh fans who could only muster blank expressions in answer to the question.

It was posted on BBC Wales' social media accounts on Wednesday evening but appeared to be removed on Thursday morning.

The BBC has also asked WalesOnline to remove the video from our site.

It's understood the film was one element of a wider promotional campaign, which will see a trailer featuring Welsh and English fans air on television later on Thursday.

While the video was liked and shared hundreds of times by fans, many described it as unacceptable.

Some saw it as a light-hearted bit of fun ahead of a big Wales v England game, but others branded it small-minded.

One fan described it as "parochial rubbish", while another said it was "an embarrassment".

Here is a taste of the negative reaction...

Despite the largely angry reaction on Twitter, others on Facebook described it as "brilliant" and "banter at its best".

BBC Wales have declined to officially comment on the reasons for the video being removed but it is understood they decided to remove the video after realising it didn't strike the right note with fans.

Wales face England at the Principality Stadium on Saturday afternoon, with both sides still hoping to be crowned Six Nations champions next month after winning their opening matches.

The Welsh team have lost their last three Six nations matches against the English but did famously beat them in the 2015 World Cup at Twickenham.

In 2012, the BBC decided against airing a controversial TV trailer for the Six Nations amid fears it would upset English fans.

The video, which was leaked online, featured fans from Wales, Scotland, Ireland, France and Italy all confusingly chanting "England".

But by the end, it became clear why they were unanimously referring to the English, with the appearance of the slogan: The Six Nations. It's not about who you want to win...it's about who you want to lose.
