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.
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.
It’s all about opinions though 👍
