Owen Farrell has changed the way English rugby is played and the way the England team thinks.
That was the verdict of Jamie George as team mates and coaches lined up to hail the influence of just the third Englishman to reach a century of caps.

He does so credited with a profound and lasting influence on the sport during 10 years in the national team.
George said: “Owen has changed the way English rugby has been played, we can genuinely say that. He’s changed the mindset of the team, giving us the belief to play against teams like the All Blacks.
“He’s led the way throughout his 99 caps. There has not been a day I’ve trained with him where I thought, ‘He’s having an off day’. The way he fights and shows resilience, it’s like nothing I’ve ever seen.”
