#3. James Haskell
The pair have what we can only describe as a love-hate relationship.
As legendary as the ‘best mates’ videos were during the 2016 tour of Australia, Farrell certainly didn’t seem to be enjoying it at any point.
James Haskell facts:
- Haskell was born in Windsor, Berkshire, and first played for Maidenhead Rugby Club
- He is the son of Jonathan and Susie Haskell. James also has one sibling, a younger brother named Edward
- After retiring from rugby, Haskell signed to mixed martial arts promotion Bellator MMA as part of its Heavyweight division
- His five yellow cards for England is more than any other player in history
- The flanker has a digger driving licence. He’s been obsessed with JCBs since he was a young child.
#4. Faf de Klerk
Farrell and De Klerk ended up at arm’s length from each other in 2018 during their summer tour just before the 20-minute mark and the rest of the two sides quickly joined in.
The pair have since clashes on multiple occasions, including during the World Cup final a year later. Klerk is clearly someone who gets under the England skippers skin and their appears to be little love lost between the pair.
Speaking about the pair, Tom Curry said they are ‘very different characters’.
