LONDON (Reuters) - Referee Chris Pollock can expect the full wrath of an angry crowd if he gives any contentious decisions against the Rugby World Cup hosts on Saturday, but at least he will be spared the thoughts of England's assistant coaches.

Forwards coach Graham Rowntree and defence coach Andy Farrell have been banned from the dressing-room area and players' tunnel immediately before, during and after England's Pool A match against Uruguay at Manchester City's Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
