England’s Henry Pollock took to the pitch amidst a storm of boos from the Argentine crowd. The Northampton Saints flanker has ruffled feathers in Argentina after his antics before the World Cup semi-final, where he was caught goading football fans.
England coach Steve Borthwick supported the young player, but that didn’t prevent the intense reaction from the crowd.
