You can express yourselves because nothing is given to you. Sometimes when you are No 1 and you have achieved things pre-tournament you can be reaching for that too much. When you are a little bit behind and your back&#8217;s up against a wall, you are a lot more present with things.\u00a0Personally I think it is a nice spot to be in. Obviously it would have been brilliant to be coming in off the back of three or four wins but the situation we find ourselves in I think we have got to enjoy that.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/rugbyunion\/article-12479577\/England-captain-Owen-Farrell-GUTTED-banned-World-Cup-red-card-high-tackle.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>England captain Owen Farrell admits he is &#8216;GUTTED&#8217;
