At the age of 31, Farrell seems to be coming out of himself in tune with a more open Saracens game plan. “It is not a change of style, like going to something completely different,” Farrell explained. “It is just looking for more opportunity in what we did, and doing it better.
“We got a lot back from it really early on in the season and we scored a lot of tries, the weather was good – it is that time of year now when we have to keep making good decisions and that… might be playing a little bit tighter.”Farrell now joins around 45 players called by England to two camps for medical and strength & conditioning screening over the next two days, split between Gloucester and Liverpool.
The Leicester prop Dan Cole is understood to be involved, and new England head coach Steve Borthwick was at Sale last Friday night to see Cole’s club, whose back division was riven by injury, beaten 40-5 by the second-placed Sharks.newspaper says he has been appointed to coach Maties RFC. A candidate to replace Proudfoot – who was recruited from the Springboks by former England boss Eddie Jones after the 2019 World Cup – is Ian Peel of Saracens.
