Rugby NewsThursday, 22 April 2021 at 10:03
Owen Farrell has been labelled 'extremely lucky' after he avoided being cited for a dangerous hit during Saracens 50-15 win against Doncaster Knights.
In a clip shared by Andy Goode with the caption 'must be different tackle laws in the Championship', the England captain clearly makes dangerous contact with his opponents head.
FAN REACTIONS:
Euan Broderick: Farrell making a dangerous tackle and not getting reprimanded for it? How is that breaking news?
Stuart Gordon: The Farrell law alive and well in the championship.
David Price: That can't be Farrell. He actually wrapped his arms.
Richard Thompson: Doncaster player clearly dips as contact is about to happen. Stop this flagrant bullying/trolling of Farrell
Rugby Inside Line: What number is this now? He’s not going to get as lucky one day..

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
