FARRELL IS CHASING FOURTH WORLD CUP

Record-breaker in no mood to ease up

- Alex Spink

OWEN FARRELL warned his flyhalf rivals he is going nowhere as he set his sights on a fourth World Cup.

England's captain, record points scorer, and third most-capped male player will be 36 by the next tournament in Australia in 2027.

He has just seen team-mates Ben Youngs, Courtney Lawes and Jonny May retire all under the age of 35, - and he has young guns Marcus Smith and Fin Smith pushing him hard.

The start of World Cup cycles traditionally heralds new beginnings, but the 112-capped Saracen insists that will not apply in his case. 

Farrell said: "I want to play as long as I can I absolutely love what I do. I'm unbelievably lucky to do something I'm really passionate about. I don't see that changing any time soon."
