  • We go deep into the World Rugby archive to find father and son combination Andy and Owen Farrell when they played together for Saracens in 2008. Today, Andy is preparing for a World Cup as Ireland's defence coach whilst Owen will be an integral part of an England team coached by Eddie Jones - the same man who gave Owen his first chance over a decade ago...

    Most personality I’ve ever seen displayed by Owen

      To be fair I think he has a lot of personality, he doesn’t do interviews much, regardless of what you think of him on the field he does come across very well when he does interviews

    Owen Farrell is definitely built more like an O’Loughlin (his mums side). His dad at 16 was bigger physically than Owen Farrell at his biggest. Still two standout players of their respective generations.

      Depends how you set your bar. 106 Caps, playing since 2012 , 3 x 6 nations titles, led Englands record consecutive win record of 18 wins, finalist at RWC. Then you have Premiership and Heineken Cup wins, European player of the year 2017, , 3 Lions wins and 45 odd points from JW to become the 2nd highest points scorer in international rugby behind Dan Carter. I would say that’s a pretty Impressive career
