A biography for Owen Farrellhasn’t been written yet.
“Everybody loves playing against the best teams.”
“I'm pleased to have been able to contribute to some good team performances.”
“The main thing is I've tried to get better at everything - that includes the attacking side, being a threat, and taking people on.”
“I've always been comfortable speaking, especially on the field. Probably not as much off the field.”
“I'm well aware of the rules, and I don't want to play to the edge of them.”
“Your focus has to switch to being as good as you can be for your club.”
“You see what type of player I am, and you see a lot of that in leaders. Hopefully, you lead from the front and, first and foremost, play well.”
“Big games are usually about doing the simple things well - not trying to pull a rabbit out of a hat.”
“Obviously, international rugby is a different level, but there are some really good players around.”
“I don't think anyone is untouchable.”
“You always think you're ready earlier than you are.”
“There is a difference going onto the pitch with No. 10 on your back rather than No. 12, and you need to have a clear understanding and be unbelievably prepared for what you are going into and what you will face.”
“Not everyone plays their best game every week.”
“You review a game. You don't brush over anything you did well and look at anything you could improve. There's stuff to get better at, it's not hard to find.”
“You don't really get fly-halves battering each other.”
“I don't have too many gadgets in the house. I do like playing computer games every now and again, though.”
“I spent my time chasing rucks and never managing to hit any, so I quickly switched out to the backs.”
“It's obviously a massive honour to captain your country.”
“Being really competitive, you're hard on yourself when you make a mistake, but then you've got to push on.”
“Getting to the halfbacks is a big part of any game.”
