Robshaw tribute to captain after exile

Returning Farrell is 'simply the best'

OWEN FARRELL ends his England exile with his predecessor as World Cup captain hailing him the best he has played with.

Head coach Steve Borthwick recalled his skipper at the first opportunity following his four-game ban for dangerous play.

Farrell starts at fly-half against Chile tomorrow with George Ford, man of the match in the two pool games Farrell sat out, dropping to the bench and stand-in skipper Courtney Lawes getting the weekend off.

With Marcus Smith starting at full-back for the first time, England have the opportunity to harness three playmakers - a week after their attack misfired for an hour against Japan.

Farrell divides opinion, but Chris Robshaw, who captained England at the 2015 World Cup, has no doubt about his value and the boost to the national team his return will bring.
