Doubt if any of the players (the ones whose opinions really matter) have any problem with Owen Farrell being included.Quote:

Well as it was Eliot daly who was injured, and he plays predominantly 13, 14 or 15 then not someone who only plays 10 or 12. Personally, and based on the 6 nations, Tom Jordan of Scotland, but there are options. Of course the other players are not going to show any adverse response to the call up - the guy picking the team is owens dad! But I’m struggling to see how anyone can justify it.Quote:

Losing Eliot Day, also meant losing the best long kicker in the squad. Finn Russell, Fin Smith and Matt Smith are decent kickers on their day, but Owen Farrell is the best under pressure, so to me that justifies his selection, lots of games in the modern era are decided on kicking.Quote:

Great start for the Lions. My mate has moved to Australia and is at the game tonight. As if I wasn’t already jealous of his move.
0-48 with 5 to play. Brilliant statement of intent.
