“Absolute idiot” – Owen Farrell’s behaviour during Rugby World Cup semi-final slammed

England captain Owen Farrell came under fire as his complaining to Ben O’Keeffe went too far with his side marched back during the opening 40.

One fan wrote: “Keep your gob shut, Farrell”

A second said: “Farrell is going to lose this for England if he isn’t careful. Settle down and take advantage of the rain.”

Another commented: “Someone tell Farrell to shut his mouth and calm down,”

A fourth added: “Farrell needs to channel this energy and smash some green lads in a tackle (hopefully he’s learnt to wrap his arms) vs beaking off,”

Find out the top five below.

#5. Dan Biggar (Wales)
