Owen Farrell - Saracens | Aviva Premiership Player of the Month

Owen Farrell - Aviva Premiership Player of the Month

Owen Farrell is a rugby union player (born 21 September 1991) currently playing for Aviva PremierShip Rugby side Saracens. He is Andy Farrell's son.
His primary position is centre, but he often plays flyhalf/centre. He held the record of youngest ever player to appear in English professional rugby union after playing for Saracens 11 days after his 17th birthday, in a 26--17 home defeat against Llanelli Scarlets in the EDF Energy Cup on 5 October 2008,[2] until this record was broken in November 2009 by Leicester's George Ford, the son of another former Rugby League international (Mike Ford).
In the 2010--11 season, Farrell signed for Bedford Blues on loan. However, he returned to Saracens and was pivotal in the 2010-11 Aviva Premiership Final kicking five penalties and converting James Short's try for a personal haul of 17 points in the 22-18 victory over reigning champions Leicester Tigers.

Who was your Premiership player of the month? Let us know in the comments...

[JOHNNY59FIFTY]

would love to see how england could link up farrell at 12 and tuilagi at 13

[vegatablesouptom]

@boobyrooberts I meant in the sense that he's not fragile like Wilkinson which your reaction proved...wilkinson did come back from loads of injuries (hence proving my point that he was fragile) and clearly you haven't read my previous comment that farrel is "strong defensively (He's no Wilkinson granted)" so get your facts straight before you insult me...not to mention I get the feeling we're singing from the same hymn sheet so to speak here but we're singing different tunes...

[boobyrooberts]

@vegatablesouptom "unlike Wilkinson this guy is tough as nails??" What the hell are you talking about? Do you know who Jonny Wilkinson is?? He came back from so many horrendous injuries and was still world class, he's also one of the best defensive fly-halves ever! Get your facts straight!

[TheStrongweak]

mainly, not his dad. who is the greatest player ever. hope he gets there

[vegatablesouptom]

@kevclare Yeh and so can Farrel but like I said his running game doesn't set the world alight...his kicking and core skills are very good admittedly his long pass is shorter than wilkinsons and I've never seen a player run through him so he's strong defensively (He's no wilkinson granted) and unlike wilkinson this guy is tough as nails...

[bob7man]

could you have made worse highlights, ur fucking dumb videomaker

[kevclare]

@vegatablesouptom Wilkinson could run score tries, pass well and probably the best tackler at outhalf I have ever seen. And farrell can just kick.

[Wraithlord102]

I agree with utuberlol. Doubtless, he has talent and can kick but I'm not yet convinced by Farrell.

[vegatablesouptom]

The point is that he's a class act at flyhalf or centre even if he doesn't personally set the world on fire, wilkinson didn't and he's gone down as the greatest ever english flyhalf and rightly so...
