England and Scotland fought out an astonishing 38-38 draw at Twickenham in the most remarkable match in their 148-year rivalry.
The hosts raced into a 31-point lead in as many minutes but following a second-half collapse Owen Farrell poor display didn’t go unnoticed.
And now England fans are not sure if he’s captain material.
Is Owen Farrell not the right person to lead @EnglandRugby ? I personally think he is not a captain. Not sure who I would choose.

England need more intelligence on the field, not adaptable enough. Owen Farrell too much to do, Joe Launchbury as captain. World Cup will not be easy.
Time for Danny Cip ?
Well played Scotland.
Owen Farrell is a shit captain #ENGvSCO

Owen Farrell should never, ever, ever captain the English rugby team again, he is devoid of every characteristic a good captain should have. #engvsco

Owen Farrell is a great rugby player.

He is NOT a captain, however, and suffers from a lack of intelligence..
Owen Farrell can’t string a coherent sentence together let alone be England captain.

Owen Farrell. Poor decisions and not a captain for me, better player without that pressure I feel. Just my opinion tho.
