Barrett, Lomu, Wilkinson : Owen Farrell’s dream XV is utterly bonkers

HALFBACKS:

  • Fly-half: Jonny Wilkinson (England)
  • Scrum-half: Ben Youngs (England)

Farrell on Wilkinson: “It would have to be Jonny [Wilkinson], simple as that. The consistency he showed throughout his career was incredible, he set a new standard for flyhalves all over the world. Dan Carter is another one who has been incredible over a long period, but I’d have to stick with Jonny as my toughest opponent.”

“Sexton is also a fantastic player and even though I had respect for him before the Lions, I have even more now. I enjoyed being around him, seeing what players bring to the job day in, day out, the detail they go into. Johnny demands stuff of people, demands that they know their jobs and get it right. He’s always a really tough opponent.”
