We go deep into the World Rugby archive to find father and son combination Andy and Owen Farrell when they played together for Saracens in 2008.
Today, Andy is Ireland’s head coach whilst Owen will be an integral part of an England team coached by Eddie Jones – the same man who gave Owen his first chance over a decade ago…
