Owen Farrell determined to lead England on his terms after reclaiming captaincy

Owen Farrell. Image: PA OWEN FARRELL WILL continue to lead England his own way after being restored as captain for the autumn opener against Argentina at Twickenham on Sunday.

It comes in spite of England’s head coach revealing when naming his squad for the campaign last month that he had replaced Farrell with Lawes partly because of the Northampton forward’s greater composure when communicating with referees. “There are different captains all over the world. There have been really, really calm ones that are good.

“My sole focus at the minute and our sole focus is growing the leadership group. And not just the group, the way that we allow space for other people to lead as well,” he said.
