There are some true bromances in rugby.
Faf de Klerk and Vincent Koch. Marcus Smith and Alex Dombrandt. Dan Carter and Richie McCaw.

Owen Farrell & Dave Attwood
Former England lock Attwood has opened up on the latest RugbyPass Offload about his ongoing rivalry with Owen Farrell.
He revealed: “On the pitch, I struggle a lot with Owen Farrell. We just don’t see eye to eye on a lot of things,
“He hates me with a passion. Despite my earthy roots, he thinks I am a posh c***. He hates that. I bagged rugby league once jovially. I was saying it to take the piss kind of thing, ‘a bloody sport for the peasants’. He f**kin’ hated it.”
