#2. Owen Farrell
- Age: 28
- Position: Inside-centre
- Standout stat: Conceded 2 turnovers and missed two tackles
RUCK (6/10): Ali Price and Finn Russell kept using Farrell as a ‘crash-ball centre’ and that is something the England captain is definitely not. Also missed a tackle in the lead up to the hosts first half try.
Telegraph (6/10): “A mixed first half comprised neat passing and vocal organisation with two poor carries owing to backline confusion. A costly missed tackle foreshadowed the hosts’ first try. “
Wales Online (6/10): “The England captain needed to launch his tour with a big game. But he missed a tackle in the build-up to the first Sigma Lions try and found it hard to generate true impact in attack.”
