England's head coach Steve Borthwick believes his players have an opportunity in Paris in Saturday's semi-final
'A lot of people said we wouldn't get out of the pool. We got out of the pool, now we got out of the quarter-finals,' England head coach Steve Borthwick says his side have silenced the critics. Owen Farrell steered England into the semi-finals of the World Cup after Borthwick's side faced down a Fiji fightback in a dramatic 30-24 victory in Marseille.
'I think you've seen in a period of time the England team weren't coming back to win that game, and this team did.'We talked about scenarios and how you handle different situations. I think the players are drawing on all of those experiences now.' England controlled the closing minutes of an enthralling encounter in exemplary fashion as Fiji threatened to complete a recovery act they almost pulled off against Wales last month.
