6'2" is pretty tall for even an international fly half and reasonably rare to be fare. look at the top 10s in the world past and present and they generally range from 5'10" to max 6 ft guys like wilkinson 5'10, preistland 6ft, Dan carter, 5'10 Ronan O'Gara 6ft etc. the younger guys with the exception of George Ford seem to be in the taller range so this may be a trait that we see in the future. Guys like Rohan Pinear 6'3" , Owen Farrel 6'2, Quade cooper 6'1.
It was an hospital pass, it was a good tackle, but it didn't win the match France missed a drop goal at the last minute, which means the end of the game. Thank you very much.
Flood is a converted scrum half who is a good club player but not a good international player, even though he has 55 caps it just shows that since johnny wilkinson retired there had been a lack of decent fly halfs in this country
When I was watching this at home I was like "fuck.no.please don't score.shit.AHHH.come on England.this is too tense to watch.please please please don't score." Owen Farrell's tackle "WOOOO!!!GO FARRELL!!! but please don't hurt yourself :)"
Farrell or Flood? the big question for england selection at 10, there kicking rate is evenly matched. Flood does like to carry more ball, yet farrell is better defensively
Cipriani turned himself into what he is, it wasn't England's fault he thought he was a footballer - Farrell seems to be well grounded, and his dad is his coach, so he'll do well as you say
he was one of the top young england players to come though the academies at one stage, england mangement could of done a better job of guiding and sculpting him into a world class player, instead of just dropping him. Its not like he hasn't got the talent.
Farrell is a decent pro.... and defensively sound, but has no attacking threat . shortlisted for World player of the year contender ........ someone was having a joke !
They dropped him because he couldnt resist clubbing despite them telling him not to. Its mostly his fault. Anyway, he's joining Sale next season, hopefully he can get back into contention
No don't be silly. It wasn't match saving but to put its importance at the same level as all the other tackles is absurd. You mean all the other tackles where france got over the gain line compared to this where it completely stopped their momentum.

laugh in nico sanchez
how the fuck is that a match winning tackle?
stopped the momentum of the french attack
not a match winning tackle though. its not what won them the match
Lo Brown exactly
Lo Brown that's what I was thinking
He stopped France gaining yards...that’s why it was match saving
if that is a match saving tackle, then all the other tackles leading to that, were also match saving?
little owen farrell he isnt little, he is bloody 6ft2"
and 15 stone.
put him in the back row!
true, and hes still young, plenty of time to improve his game
I was there - great match and some brilliant tries.
Farrell is a great fly half, and another good young player to come out of the 2012 tournament
He actually made a legal tackle? Rather shocking in itself.
It was an hospital pass, it was a good tackle, but it didn't win the match

Thank you very much.
thats what she said

not anymore! Farrell, Ford, Alex Lozowski and the young Marcus Smith
Farrel, he's got goood passing too
I know right? I was literally on the edge of my couch like YES!
I rate Farrell so much more after this six nations and I'm a Saracens fan

I never thought about fly half could outdo Wilkinson in being committed to a tackle. well......hello!!!
Jonathan Davies = legend :P
And what a tackle - Just like Johnny used to do :)
Cipriani turned himself into what he is, it wasn't England's fault he thought he was a footballer - Farrell seems to be well grounded, and his dad is his coach, so he'll do well as you say
I think he's good enough to get to a World cup final - but pure speculation on my part
Granted he's no prawn (unlike Parra), but he laid Harinordoquay out like a picnic blanket. And Harinordoquay is arguably the best #8 in Europe.
Good defence and attack all round. Lovely chip and chase from France to break out of their half.
True but i think the commentator was referring to his unit
@lilmissmcdreamy Comparatively to most players, and especially Harinordoquy, he's pretty small
Number 8 vs Number 10. Dosent usually go that way :) Nice one Farrell
I did try it, but it didn't quite look right - but if you're sure, the cheers :)

What? No arms and all shoulder?
thats why he said exception, hahaha
i surpose so but that is quite tall for a fly half
I watched a game the other day where he gave the match losing tackle !
why does this doorknob always sound like he is puking when he talks?
good future in front of this lad, along as england dont fuck it up and turn him into another cipriani
owen Farrell fan boy
What , How was that a try wining tackle ?
Compared to Harinordoquy he is!
@droopydog111 lol more like lie down!your comment is the best quate ever
Geez that time of month? No need to jump to such a bitter statement. Talk about a no life
sit down you know hahahaha
It wasn't but it was big
@lilmissmcdreamy And 96kg!

okie doke Yep. And to put Harinordoquy on his arse like that is no mean feat in itself at any time, let alone such a crucial one.
match winning? ha rugby league cock up. Still shock up by Sapolu! this is from an English man, to dad's little boy!
harinordoquy was in a very bad position english boys
Little Tosser.. ..
