Owen Farrell has been heralded as one of the all-time greats by his Saracens and England teammate Jamie George, who says he cannot understand the criticism that comes the fly-half’s way.
Farrell was the standout performer in Saracens’ comprehensive victory against Exeter on Sunday and seems revitalised after a prolonged spell on the sidelines as a result of two ankle operations. Indeed, Farrell was making only his fourth appearance for Saracens since October but is showing the form that escaped him for large periods of the previous campaign as well as the British & Irish Lions tour of South Africa last summer.
