With all 中立のs at the Stade de フラン supporting Argentina and with Red Rose fans making the trip across The Channel in small numbers only, England played in the most 敵意を持った atmosphere they have 遭遇(する)d at this World Cup.

“I wasn’t surprised. It’s usually like that here. When you play against フラン in Six Nations here, they don’t 元気づける you when you’re ha ving a 発射 at goal!” Farrell said.

“It’s a bit different here in フラン to how it is over in England when a kicker’s taking a 発射. But that’s what it is ? just different. That’s no problem.”
