England's rugby players have revealed they will avoid wearing national shirts in Argentina this week, ahead of facing the Pumas in Saturday's Nations Championship Test in Santiago del Estero. Steve Borthwick's side will be in Buenos Aires when Wednesday's FIFA World Cup semi‑final between England and Argentina takes place.

The squad wore England jerseys in support of the football team for last Saturday's quarter‑final against Norway, but did so in Liverpool after defeating Fiji earlier in the day. Lock Alex Coles told *The Telegraph* that, bearing in mind where they are and who they're playing with, they've been sensible about not wearing their English shirts around too much. Wing Tommy Freeman said the squad are ready for an 'angry' atmosphere and contest against the Pumas on Saturday, should England's footballers prove victorious.

Freeman added that it's big for both nations and being in Argentina has heightened the rivalry massively. He expects hostility if they win, noting Argentina's passionate crowd and England's own pride. He also said he loves football, grew up watching it first, and sees the World Cup as a unique global spectacle that captures imagination like no other sport.
