Agree . Farrell a yellow or red card waiting to happen.

I would have taken Farrell at Tigers before Pollard everyday of the week. He is a natural winner with a will to win at any cost. Reminds me of the same mindset of Rugby and Tigers greatest Captain. Not in talent as Jono was world class but desire to win and willingness to play on the edge. He will be great in France and will hopefully prolong his career. Badly treated by the media because of who he is and who he plays for. Good luck to him going to France if it happens.

I agree with you Dr F!! Farrell is a great player at 10, it's rubbish to say he's just a kicking fly half, Sarries have ben playing an attractive style of rugby for a few seasons now.

It's not his fault he was played so often at 12 for England, although some may forget it was Ford 10, Farrell 12 V NZ in the epic semi final victory in 2019.

Everyone's allowed their opinion regarding all players, BUT the vitriol and negativity that Farrell has faced (from supposed England fans) is a disgrace. I wish him well in France.

I hope he plays well today, just not as well as HP!!

Sorry, i don’t think I explained myself particularly well. I would never take Farrell over Pollard. Scott is spot on they are a different world apart. But if Pollard wasn’t a thing and we could have got Farrell, then I for one would have loved to have seen him in a Tigers shirt. That will to win and aggressive attitude is probably why we all love Brown.

Borthwick has now announced that Sinfield will leave the England set up after the tour to New Zealand and Japan

Demoted according to DT, I find it amazing that he has been given individual skills and kicking! Kicking, when did you see kicking in RL other than goal kicking, how did he learn that skill, very strange?

Sinfield was an outstanding goal kicker in his playing days. There is a clip around of him during England training of him making a kicking tee out of snow and kicking the ball through the posts from the corner flag

Charlie Atkinson credited Sinfield with improving his kicking in the short time they were at the club together

The playing abroad rule being changed is gathering pace now it's Farrell that could be going abroad,what a surprise!

Would be one way for the RFU to bring up a scrap with the PRL as contract talks are ongoing. Would be the RFU declaring open season on some the Prem's best talent. Would also make it difficult to get the squad together for the training weeks and rest weeks in the 6N plus the fourth AI etc which would hurt the RFU interests.

Currently the only person I've heard say they should make an exception is Sir Clive and I think we've all long moved past the point where we take him seriously.

Would also be a bad call for England not to move away from a flyhalf that isn't the in form option and who won't make the next world cup. Farrell removing himself from selection probably helps England long term. He's been a good servant to his country but the world cup should be where it ends.

Agreed. It would be the death knell of rugby in England.

The huge difference is that Brown plays within the laws IMHO. I am absolutely astounded what Fazlet gets away with. For example, he hurt his shoulder last weekend because of a shoulder barge (a tackle without wrapping his arms) and absolutely nobody mentioned it. Something like this happens every week with him, and some people wonder why he is disliked. There is gamesmanship and there is dirty.

Has Jacques Burger accidentally let the cat out the bag?!?

Or did he genuinely think it was confirmed somewhere as per his follow up tweet?
