Richard Wigglesworth says he 'does not understand' the criticism Owen Farrell receives after the England captain was jeered at the World Cup win over Fiji on Sunday. Farrell was booed when his name was read out by the PA announcer ahead of the quarter-final in Marseille, which England won 30-24 to set up a semi-final showdown with South Africa at the weekend.It is not known whether England supporters barracked the 31-year-old, with fans from other nations also inside the Stade Velodrome.
'He is incredibly serious about his career, an incredibly proud Englishman who affects any team he is in. He was brilliant for us, as we knew he would be. That was the maddening part of any noise, we knew what was coming.'On England supporters, Wigglesworth added: 'I heard an incredible atmosphere in the stadium, an amazing amount of support.'The minority are always loudest - they are who you hear. The majority are turning up at the stadium, loving this team, supporting it.
