OWEN FARRELL has changed the way English rugby is played and the way the England team think.
That was the tribute paid by Farrell’s England and Saracens team-mate Jamie George as colleagues and coaches lined up to hail the influence of just the third Englishman to reach a century of caps.
Farrell will hit three figures on Saturday, when he captains his country against New Zealand at Twickenham – and will do so credited with a profound and lasting influence on the sport over his 10 years in the national team.
George said: “Owen has changed the way English rugby has been played, we can genuinely say that.
“He’s changed the mindset of the team – giving us the belief to play against teams like the All Blacks.
