READY FREDDIE GO ... Freddie Burns

FREDDIE BURNS is ready for a red-hot reception as England take on Argentina in

tonight’s first Test.

Gloucester’s fly-half, 23, makes his first Red Rose start with Owen Farrell on

the Lions tour and Toby Flood rested.

England boss Stuart Lancaster has prepared his squad by showing clips of the

Pumas’ recent home games against Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.

Burns said: “It is that gladiator thing — you and the rest of the squad

against a nation. It’s a different type of noise over here, more hostile.

But I like to relish that atmosphere.

“I have been fortunate with England. I had that 20-minute cameo against the

All Blacks and a start against the Barbarians a couple of weeks ago.

“Now I am going into a full-blown Test match and it is nothing I am too

concerned about. I am just hugely excited.”
