England fans were less than impressed by the post-match interview with Owen Farrell’s following their 30-29 defeat against Argentina at Twickenham.
One fan wrote: “Owen Farrell with a waffling post match interview: tropes, clichés, inanities, platitudes… nothing.”
“Owen Farrell needs to be put out to pasture & play the remaining time of his career in the Premiership & allow the better players in any position he plays in to shine,” said a second.
A third commented: “Owen farrell saying they are building… it’s essentially the same team for years, surely the building should be there…. Needs razing to the ground, coach included and starting again,”
“Owen Farrell don’t do any more interviews, you know we sh**e, the better team won on the day. Both teams had a slippery ball and bad conditions.”
Another wrote: “Owen Farrell really has a lot to learn about captaincy. That post match interview being a case in point. Saying well done Argentina and not looking like you might murder someone, would be a good start,”
