Thank you for making this. I’m tired of people just disregarding him as one of the best players of his generation, just because they don’t like him. Guy is a superstar
Mate , dude is slimy and gotten away with many illegal tackles. Dude should of gotten several reds cards but due to corruption, he has gotten away with alot.
Their is a reason why hes disliked
@@FrozenRaven-uh3kb
Corruption, 😂😂😂
How much is tin foil worth these days?
He’s disliked because the majority of sports fans are incapable of letting their emotions get the better of them and applying rational thought.
watch the compilations of him committing high tackles...it's worse when he does it because he is so good and does need to yet does!@@somanytakennames
He is a thug. No arm tackles and shoulder charges to the head are his speciality and he gets away with it time and time again.
@@FrozenRaven-uh3kbso that makes him a bad player?😭
I say this as an Irish man, but I'd love a player like Farrell on our team. He's world-class by any standard you want to measure him against. And I love his snarky attitude.
You've got his cousin - Sexton!
@@SolarMumuns and his dad
@@canadiancontent352 His Dad isn't lining out for us though😂😂
@@SolarMumuns Distant cousin😂
He's half Irish. If the next England coach drops him, he can have a stand-down period and play for Ireland in 2027. He'd still be younger than Sexton.
Ludicrously underrated player on both sides of the ball. If Quade Cooper had done that first offload people would be creaming themselves for weeks.
You don’t get 100 caps, two lions tours, captain your team to a world cup final, multiple 6Nations, A grand slam, multiple premiership titles and European cups without being a fantastic player.
Absolutely spot on. I’m pretty sure I read something recently that said the only tournament he hasn’t won (that he’s competed in) is the World Cup.
Born winner and a terrific leader
*3 Lions tours. Though he only started 2017 and 21
He's world class at two things, being a grub & being suspended for being a grub.
Seeing as he has had four yellow cards and just the one red in his entire career, your standard for “world class” is maybe a little loose.
@@philipcollier263 Lol you've watch like the rest of us Farrell getting away with blatant foul play. I could link you to video's on RUclips but we all know the truth.
People don't hate on average players. Says a lot about Farrell.
Springbok fan here- I agree completely.
I hate on grubs. Tell me, how many times does a player need to be suspended before the penny drops?
@@stylekat £ times. This has been pointed out to you in another comment. But you're too cowardly to address that fact.
He’s a great player but we hate him cause he is a grub: ruclips.net/video/M0Mxf9YnY5E/видео.html
@@stylekat Way more than once.
Over 3,500 points in top level Rugby, 3 Lions tours, RWC runner-up, 3 x Six Nations titles, 5 x Prems, 3 European Cups and 2 x European player of the Year.
Salty RUclipsrs: "...bUT hE Is a DIrtY plAyeR..."
It isn't a coincidence that so many dislike him, he inspires it, we don't want to dislike him, that is just how he makes many feel. Nothing wrong with that, but he must have something to do with it at the very least. Not unlike David Warner of Australia (cricket).
4 prems where they cheated*
@@chris5240 his crime is that he's incredibly good and English, always brings out the bitterness.
@@chris5240 dont compare David Warner (a convicted cheat) to Owen Farrell
@@dudeman2k6His crime is he's a thug who loves the no arm tackle and shoulder charge to the head
From foreign sight (Germany) I cannot understand why such a lot of people dislike Owen Farrell. In my option he is an inspirational leader and an admirable player. By the way: the compilation is really well done 👍.
People hate on him because he;s a dirty player. He's had more suspensions than I've had hot dinners.
@@stylekat he’s had two suspensions in his whole career. You must eat a lot of salad.
@@stylekat he’s had 6 yellows and 1 red his entire career hardly a grub 🤣
@@soundscapemusic8980 ,but he gets away with a lot of fouls too.
@craigthompson why have you to argue yourself in every comment thread. Take a nap
Many nations fans seem to hate him. I think when he's retired and coaching (particularly if he follows in his father's footsteps across other lands) people will see he was a strong competitor, a natural rugby player, and a decent human being. It is underlooked his charity work and support outside of rugby. While he has had moments of petulance (in his first years) and reckless technique, he has always seemed to learn and grow from these and earn the respect of his teammates and opposition.
Also wanna give a shout out to the All Blacks for their very classy post-game tribute to him on his 100th cap. Sam Whitelock - legend
right and he throws away that good grace in the eyes of any fan who has had their players get seriously penalized by him yet see his, to be kind..."un-humble" facial reactions when he ought to be booked! No more high tackles or tripping and he needs to be called out for it. Of course he's good that makes his behaviour worse!
Incredible tribute! To say this guy is anything other than absolutely world class shows your rugby intelligence.
*AGREED*
.... *OR* ...
To say this guy is absolutely world class shows your lack of rugby intelligence.
@@joatmofa0405that comment just shows you're a tool. When he retires he'll have at least 3 six nations titles, a world cup final, several European cups, 3 lions tours, top points scorer for England (second overall behind Carter), world player of the year nominee 2016 and captain of England under his belt. He was a world class player.
@@jonnybaynham1689
... you were saying ...?
I suspect Farrell is the one "lacking rugby intelligence". Another red card - same offence - directly after attending "tackle school"
Seeing his decision to take a break from international duties really shocked , never understood the abuse he received, he’s a class player and we will really miss him. I hope enjoys his time with his family and hope he comes back stronger
Nice to be in a comment section about Owen Farrell that acknowledges a decade of incredible play and not a few seconds of unfortunate incidents that almost every single player has
I never knew Farrell was actually this elite. Definitely a world class player.
My favourite player. Hard worker, great captain, unbelievable rugby awareness on a pitch, just one of the best players in the world.
Would definitely start him in my world XV.
I'd choose Dan Biggar over Farrell any day!
Nah. He was the beneficiary of one the best pack of forwards club rugby has ever seen and to a more limited extend when England had many of those same forwards playing at their best.
I cannot remember one game for England OF led a fightback or dominated with line breaks, offloads or superb passing. He lacks creativity and is not only reliant on a dominant pack he is also a hostage to whatever system his team is playing. He lacks the ability to break from that system, to improvise and find ways to combat what another team is doing to stop England's attack.
I contrast that with other 10s and there is a pile of evidence of them doing exactly what OF can't do on a regular basis.
@josh smith bit harsh. Semi final RWC he demonstrated his distribution. Two of his long passes led to tries .
It's ok not to like or rate him but his play in tbe premiership seems to contradict your comments
What a class player. Takes a lot for an Irishman to say that about an English player😂
@@peacelove1854 maybe read a history book, might give you a little perspective. Beyond that its fairly common knowledge that theres a strong rugby rivalry.
Wow Mr Forde this is a Qualitay compilation and you are right Mr Farrell is elite, I feel he has 2 sides first can be capable of Shithousery and then also a Magician all over the pitch he seems to read and see everything. Thanks for putting up
What I've gethered from this is that he's a great playmaker who makes everyone around him look better
What you've missed is his grubby plays. I struggle to think of a player whose had more suspensions.
@@stylekat 3 red cards. You haven looked very hard, or at all.
@@secondchance4498 how many yellows... & more to the point, how many blatant fouls has he just got off Scott free?
@@stylekat You still can't deny he's a brilliant player
I gethered the same thing
If England had 14 other guys who played as hard as Faz they'd win everything.
Another great video Andrew 👊🏻 just a shame there is alot of comments of people who are wrong and don't agree. You don't become the 3rd top point scorer in international rugby without being elite. So many arm chair experts and clowns about 🤦🏼♂️
It's called an opinion - the channel owner has his opinion - mine (and majority others') differs.
Doesn't mean the channel owner is a d!ck - he just has a different (albeit wrong) opinion.

Title: Owen Farrell is an Elite Rugby Player
Me: And an Elite Gobshite
World class player right there!
When he retires he'll have at least 3 six nations titles, a world cup final, several European cups, 3 lions tours, top points scorer for England (second behind Carter when he gets 23 more points), world player of the year nominee 2016 and captain of England under his belt. Whatever happens this world cup, he was a world class player.
See that pass from him to Steward leading to England's second try vs New Zealand, that was class!
Found out today that Frans Steyn has beat Andy and Owen Farrell at world cups. What a guy!
LOL - touche' !!!
There's only 16 years between them. There was a crossover at sarries where both were active members of the senior squad.
Seems like the Steyn’s are making a habit of it (Morne)enjoys beating Lions
Yes but he doesn't have their class together nor Andy's skill as an international coach for he beat you comprehensively!
@@hafidkouloun6405 I don’t think any of the Steyns are couching anywhere.
He’s not underrated, just very underappreciated !!
Love his passing
great vid andrew could you do henry slade
Que the Farrell haters! I love him, he's an absolute essential cog in the English set up! I hope he gets Ford back soon so they can be the other two when Smith and a big ball carrying 12 aren't on the field!
His Da isn't a bad coach either 😉
Agreed!
I don't think people hate Farrell
He gets people's backs up because he had talent and great boot
But he has tantrums like a baby , never takes responsibility when he gets it wrong
Poor tackle disaplin
That's what sets him aside from the real greats
As good as he maybe
He's really popular back in SA🇿🇦🤘🏻
England are better when we back him. You don't see those outstanding performances any more in an England shirt. We need to play him in position and surround him with athletic ability to allow him to pull the strings
He always makes holes in defences
World class kicker, passer, game manager, leader, and a hard defender. Also rarely suffers injuries.
One of the all time greats in my opinion.
This is BS. He is a good player no more than that. On the back foot? He is an ordinary 10 at best. People move right past some facts about OF to crown him.
1. He played for a Saracens team so loaded their 2nd string pack was still one of the best in Europe
2. His "creativity" over his career? Is nowhere near his peers (Sexton, BB, Russell, Ntamack, Pollard and Richie M).
3. In his prime at Sarries, Wigglesworth was the #1 tactical kicker
4, He misses tackles in bunches. In at least 3 6N he had more missed tackles than any other player
5. His "tackling" technique has gotten him in trouble multiple times and if he wasn't OF? Would've have far more
6. This season he is playing on a slightly above average team and it shows. Despite Sarries beating Lyon, OF was atrocious. He was equally as poor v Bordeaux.
7. In every match up with Russell, club and country since 2018? Russell has easily been the better player.
Great player and proper leader. A shame he's so underappreciated
I think he’s attitude makes him underappreciated
yeab he is a really impressive player but to say he's a proper leader.. i don't know
@@kaaskrulle5931 I think he might enjoy leading the rest of the arrogant bunch thats left there. The real players will vote him out and start playing proper rugby again
@@cjels5400 i dont think players can vote someone out... Clearly youre a saffa
@@benvaughan3392 Gnite Ben .
i think hes great, id love it if he was Irish. my brother and nephews live in geneva and went to the lyon sarries game and got a photo with him, apparently hes a top lad. i dont get the hate towards him
@Andrew Forde
Very nice content 👌
Finally some RESPEK
according to his dad
Anyone who disagrees doesn’t understand rugby
I understand he's a grub. Just watch his illegal play compilations to get a real feeling of the "man".
@@stylekat stop crying mate
@@MrOlivergorman stop crying? What are you 12?
But really, have you never seen any videos of him being a grubby player, they aren't hard to find. Seems to me like you'd rather just write childish insults than consider a different opinion.
@@stylekat Name any international player you could go all whinny too. Doesn't change the fact he is a proven top class player with a long career, points, caps and respect from his peers to prove it.
As the OP said, anyone who disagrees doesn't understand Rugby.
@@Grumpy_Hobbit so is he a grub or not? Simple question, but you don't seem like engaging it so I guess I'll take the win.
Great video Andrew, Owen Farrell has been a stand out player for us (england fan here) but during the autumn series we found out one thing... He is NOT a 12, hopefully during the Six Nations he will be our starting 10, with Marcus Smith on the bench.
If he wasn't English people would love him
Owen is so great his team is like what 5th or 6th in the world 😂😂😂
Good player on offence but his defence needs work. Not my favourite player at all but is underrated (from a Scottish)
love him!!
He's got a really solid passing game
Not a 10 you want to run at
A skilled player for sure. 🇿🇦🇿🇦
He is a solid player, hated more because he is good.
Unfortunately at international level he has suffered from being a tad one dimensional but you do get the sense that has more to do with the forwards not being as dominant as the sarries pack usually is and that it's probably more to do with the coaching (difficult to operate as a 10 when your always wedged in at 12) than Owen Farrell himself
suffered? even though hes been on 3 lions tours, like third all time leading points scorer, won six nations and grand slams, captained england to a world cup final and been nominated for world player of the year multiple times. I wouldnt mind having that on my cv tbh
@@benvaughan3392 Since the WC SF v the ABs OF has been all about his reputation rather than actual performance on the filed.
Name me one game since that WC were OF took over and orchestrated his team to victory. I'm not talking about odd moments here and there. I mean for an entire game.
I'll save you the trouble, there isn't one. Yet I can point to games Ntamack, RM, Sexton, Biggar and Russell took over almost from kick off.
OF is a system 10 and always has been. When the system is going well (dominant pack being key) he looks fine when it doesn't? He struggles.
You want a prime example? Go watch the 2019 Calcutta Cup game. England pulverising Scotland. OF sitting in a arm chair smoking cigars, Scotland begin an epic comeback system creaks...OF falls apart.
@@joshsmith3598 all those players play at 10. Farrell plays at 12 for England. so you can't control the game in the same way as they want smith to be doing it in their "system". You say a dominant pack, france, all blacks and Ireland have a dominant pack so don't include sexton, RM or ntamack. At the end of the day you play in the gameplan that your told to by coaches and that's what he's been doing... you'll see when Borthwicks in charge and there's none of this smith- farrell axis that doesn't work
He does elite press conferences and tackling.
Hope you're watching Borthwick
He is my hero
own farrel try not to make an illegal tackle challange (impossible)
just got no bottle
Can u make best games of the 2022 internationals
Elite thug, yes.
Man's been living on reputation for 3 years now
It’s not about liking or disliking him, none of us know him, but as a rugby player he is a poor role model for younger players on his insistence to shoulder barge opposition illegally so often. His refusal to change this behaviour is unacceptable. As an attacking player he is gifted, but this one illegitimate area of his game let’s him down as a player to respect. If he changed we could all get behind him.
Love his behaviour of the pitch. I fucking hate him on it
Yeah but despite the fact that he’s made thousands of legal tackles throughout his career, the fact that he got away with a couple of dodgy ones means he’s the biggest thug in rugby.
Oh and he shows niggle on occasion. A player showing niggle, in a contact sport?! Actually the worst. Deserves all the hate.
I’m being sarcastic by the way. In case that wasn’t obvious.
Yes, just a couple of dodgy tackles..
@@henkvandebeek7921
Yes. It is really a minuscule amount.
But please, list all the ones you can think of and we’ll see if it even it’s even noteworthy when you look at the number of legal tackles he had made since becoming a professional rugby player in 2008.
I also take it that you think every other player who has ever played the game is without fault when it comes to tackling right? Or is it just that Farrell’s incidents got more attention and you can’t differentiate between “more attention” and “higher number”?
@@henkvandebeek7921
No response?
Thought as much.
@@somanytakennames if you want to spend twenty mins watching some RUclips then type in Farrell high tackles into the search bar and have a watch. It’s a bit of a rabbit hole as once you start watching them then more videos of Farrell being dirty keep popping up. It’s a pity because he could be such a class player and has so many good points (and has scored a ton of points too) but there is no denying that he has a malicious side to him where he intentionally goes out to hurt players and it seems to happen again and again.
@@henkvandebeek7921
No no, you’re making the accusation. YOU prove it. If you can’t be bothered to prove it then it’s because you know full well I’m correct. You’re just unable to admit you’re looking at it with blatant bias and zero objectivity.
Showing a bit of niggle these days is considered “dirty” even though it’s the sort of thing you’ll turn a blind eye to if it’s a player who plays for a team you support 😂
You wonder if he has ever worked with a sprint coach to improve his speed. That is all he really lacks and when you watch him run he just looks a little lacking in flexibility.
He probably worked with an arrogance coach, or maybe he is a natural?
@@robertpaquet755I think he comes by that naturally
Just a minor correction: somehow you misspelled "a scummy thug" when you typed "an ELITE". The letters on the keyboard are quite close together, so it's easy to see how such an innocent mistake could be made.
It's true Farrell may be grubby at times, but you cannot deny the fact that he's a great rugby player.
He is a good player
He played terrible at the weekend against Edinburgh
Yeah, bit of a mare but he acknowledged that in the post match interview with a wry smile!
Based on this also… he’s not actually THAT slow…
😂😂😂
That was genuine 😂😂 1:50, 2:37 *and* 3:35! Not bad…
😂😂well his ego and attitude is stil way faster 😂🤣
@@cjels5400 have you ever heard him talk off the pitch or heard any of his team mates talk about him? Any of his competitors? He literally has zero ego. He’s like a caricature of a stoic northerner. I have no idea where that narrative comes from. Genuinely baffling.
@@cjels5400 get over yourself
He’s world class he’s just not well liked.
So elite, he can't be banned. Apparently. I mean, he can be but he won' t be but he will be but not really.
Erm he was cited and did receive a four match ban in keeping with the offence. Better luck next time Karen
He's a very good player. Hes also a class A card carrying ass. He's cheapshot artist, he fakes injuries to get opposition carded and celebrates opposition injuries. Plenty not to like.
Where do you get all that shit from? Celebrates opposition injuries???? Post a clip please.

@@patrickchilds2987 yes
You missed his great tackle on Esterhuizen.
LOL even he knew that it was not a legit tackle. Got away with one there and fair play to him. Respect from SA.
Just add that to the list of grubby plays. He's a legit trash rugby player because of his attitude.
He also no arm tackles, hes a dirty player at times and he knows what hes doing.
Farrell isn't a bad player he can score and kick but can't tackle
He can. Certainly more than most fly halves. His technique unfortunately can be reckless at times is all.
Love it when people think Farrell’s D is crap. Works totally to England’s advantage.
Tackle? Well, he can shoulder charge & head high... I guess those are forms of tackling.
Highlights can make anyone look good
Ask yourself: why does everyone hate him?
Just because he's English or a good player?
No, only because he is a cheater who does not respect the rules which should protect players.

There are MANY MORE (anti-Farrel) RUclips videos, hence my POV is that Farrell is a d!ck, but it is *MY* POV (to which I am entitled) as the Channel Owner is entitled to his POV.
I am pretty sure Andrew (Channel Owner) can recognize good-natured banter?
@@joatmofa0405 How are links you supplied like an anti Farrell tribute constitute ‘facts’ as you describe them in any way. I like a joke like anyone else but using click bait content as ‘fact’ is ridiculous.
As for my Kolbe comment, it was sarcasm and not to be taken literally. In open play is it that remarkable that a world class finisher like Kolbe leaves Farrell in his dust. Clearly Bok fans loved it but by degrading Farrell for it you are essentially saying that Kolbe got passed Farrell due to a mistake Farrell made rather than Kolbe skill.
I don’t know what a top 20 back line means, or how you would rank players by position and by what criteria. Also would Farrell be ranked as a 10 or a 12. I don’t know where he ranks in the world, but assessing his career or any players based on a single game is hardly representative or reflective on any player. For example what if we assessed Eben’s career and ranking based on last years Toulon and Lyon’s game. He had a shocker that day and by using your ranking method he wouldn’t have made the top 100.
I get you don’t like Farrell, I don’t know why and I don’t really care. To me he seems like a decent guy and rugby player, I don’t know him nor have I ever met him. To me he is just a player playing in a sport I enjoy nothing more . You can chose to dislike him for whatever reason you like, but ultimately why bother
I don't like him. He is petulant, tackles too high, plays the hard man too much, is too slow to be an international 10, lacks flexibility in his tactical approach, etc, etc, BUT he is one of the best strikers of a ball I've seen in 55 years of watching rugby with some knowledge of what's what. At Cardiff in 2013 I was watching him warming up before the game, punting from half way down the 5m/15m channel to Stuart Lancaster on the try line and Lancaster barely had to move. Really. He might have taken a half step once out of half a dozen kicks which otherwise landed right in the old bread basket. I was very impressed but most of all, worried. But I needn't have - we went on to win 30-3. Happy days!
For someone who’s too slow to be an international 10, having 100 caps and being the third all time point scorer in international rugby by the age of 31 is a hell of an achievement.
I remember that match we had the slowest back line to ever play international rugby. it was shocking and I predicted Wales would smash us that day. Sadly Farrell struggles to change tactics, you look at Finn Russell, George Ford and many others if that game is not going right they all change it up. Only Farrell struggles to do that.
You've watched too many highlights reels rather than actual games he's played. His petulance was mainly when he was young. He's had one or 2 little moments but generally he's a fair player and respected by teammates and opposition
your 55 years of watching rugby hasnt done you any good, you know bugger all
@@jonnybaynham1689 I agree that the petulance was mainly when he as young, but I haven't watched too many highlights reels and in answer to another comment, I do know a bit about rugby, but there's no need to be rude. We are all entitled to our opinions. and you seem to have overlooked my immense respect and admiration for his kicking prowess. And, by the way, I don't like Biggar's attitude either, so I am not one-eyed.

@@jonnybaynham1689 what’s that got to do with Farrell?
He is incredibly average.
Worst tackle technique in world rugby
Ngl no he’s not
Oh, cuz he's English, right?
Nah he’s just so overrated
He’s not tho
He is good
I don’t understand how you can possibly think he isn’t an elite rugby player.
I’d imagine your only defence is about shoulder barges which are far less frequent than the media puts out.
Farrell only got to where he is because of Daddy’s influence. After years in international rugby, and too many dangerous tackles that he always seems to get away with, Farrell still cannot resist an opportunity to try to injure an opponent. That makes him a menace, not an “elite” player. Even his teammates punch him. How he avoided a card from his most recent transgression is beyond me, and most intelligent viewers. Red cards have been handed out for much, much less. But there was little Owen, still on the pitch to kick a drop goal and steal the win. He should have been sitting in the dressing room after being sent off. Instead, he smirks his way past the officials who were apparently scared to do what they should have done. Can any of you blind fanboys explain that?
What is it about Farrell that makes you so crazy ? I get you don’t like him and that’s totally fine, nobody cares, but you are flinging such bs that only the most gullible Bok fan could possibly believe.
Not sure attributing his career to his fathers influence has any substance whatsoever, I think you overestimate Andy Farrell’s influence back in the day even as a player who came from RL. OFarrels went through the England youth set up even while his father was still playing Rugby League.
Allegedly Farrell deliberately tries to injure other players and that he has had a long history of dangerous tackles is an accusation you can throw at any rugby player. The reality is that in professional rugby any player like that would have been weeded out at junior club level. No team can afford to carry a player like that . Also his discipline record for his club and the international game is excellent.
Given the media spotlight and the scrutiny that he gets from people like you I find it hard that he would, however what has he got away with and have other players got away with anything similar?
A 100 national caps and captaining his side for many of them does make him an elite player as much as you don’t want to credit him with that . His playing career to date is impressive by any players standards, but you don’t think it counts.
Getting punched by a teammate is hardly a rare occurrence in any team, although I’m guessing you are referring to Farrell getting punched by Brits. Why didn’t you comment on Brits public regret for doing that ?
Ultimately it doesn’t matter if you as a fan like or dislike him for whatever reason real of imaginary. He polarises opinion amongst fans like few others in the game. And yet amongst the refs and the international coaching and playing community he seems to be a liked a respected player.
Go figure
Nah Owen Farrell is the dirtiest rugby player in the world not close to elite
In the world?
What’s he done wrong?
There are players out there who have deliberately gouged eyes or attacked defenceless players, and you're whining because he sometimes doesn't wrap properly...

Pov: You don't know rugby

What a weird comment😂
Dudes got like 6 test caps for the lions and you’re saying he’s not elite?
Maybe lay off the grass and you won't sound so clueless.
He's Welsh their rugbyverse is very small and limited they tend to paint the English and Premiership as elite as they are ultimately just English lap dogs so of course he thinks Farrell is elite having done the square root of fuck all for 3 years
Oh god thats funny.
The English arrogance one again.
What ?
