England Rugby Players to Avoid Wearing National Shirts in Argentina Ahead of World Cup Semi-Final
England's rugby union squad, led by Steve Borthwick, will avoid wearing national shirts while in Argentina this week, ahead of their Nations Championship Test against the Pumas on Saturday in Santiago del Estero. The decision comes as the England football team prepares to face Argentina in the FIFA World Cup semi-final in Atlanta on Wednesday. Lock Alex Coles explained the squad is being 'sensible' about not wearing English shirts in Argentina, contrasting with their enthusiastic support for the football team while in Liverpool last weekend. Wing Tommy Freeman warned the team expects an 'angry' atmosphere and contest on Saturday if England's footballers defeat Argentina. The rugby squad watched England's quarter-final win over Norway from a rooftop bar in Liverpool after their own victory against Fiji.
