- Owen Farrell booed before quarter-final in Marseille
Steve Borthwick said “I don’t care what people think of us” after England booked their place in the Rugby World Cup semi-finals – Owen Farrell answering his critics with two crucial late kicks to defeat Fiji, having been roundly booed by spectators before the match.
