A look at how the foreign press have reacted to the tackle that floored England captain Owen Farrell and saw American flanker John Quill sent off in the USA’s 45-7 loss.

The background story:

South African fans were left unsympathetic to the English pivot’s plight with a lot of history between the Springboks and Farrell after his ‘tackle’ on Andre Esterhuizen (Watch: Farrell’s tackle on Esterhuizen).

That tackle and the subsquent follow up against Australia (Watch: Another Farrell shoulder charge).
