This is so good for Owen. He is playing outside the coming superstar 9, Le Garrec, with Kalisi and so many top players. Even more, he is in the web of Lancaster. Can’t wait for Faz 2..0. Can you imagine the two Wiganers, GOD (Edwards) and Faz jr speaking French together? The world is not ready for that.
Where were the kind comments when he played for England? I'm happy for him and don't blame him. He put up with English media for way longer than anyone could. Fair play to him.
Unfortunately a lot of casual rugby fans who didn’t have a clue and a big big mouth ruined it all. The abuse and lack of respect he got was disgusting and should never have happened. Don’t blame him at all. Best of luck Faz
"Ruined it all" ...in ten years time he will reflect and be very glad it any casual fans made him leave. He will experience so much off the field and his family will thrive and love the lifestyle
GBR is the dominant scrum of podcasts 👍 I wish Owen Farrell all the best after giving his all to Sarries and England. As a Sarries fan I’m sad to see him go, but he’s been amazing for years and he deserves huge success. As for Sarries I’d like to see Marnie Libbock replace him, a good international player that Mark Mcall could turn into a great one. Let’s hope all the Faz haters can finally be silent now and then forgotten. Faz was and is a world class player. Cheers Faz
That's it in so far as England is concerned. Im sure OF will be great at Racing and will sign off his international career in style with the Lions. Kudos to the man...👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
take the payday Owen you deserve it who knows maybe the old farts will see sense and allow players to represent their country wherever they choose to play.good luck sir and thank you for your service.
It would harm England rugby if players were in France and Japan they would not be released to train as much. Not to mention developing players would not have as many opportunities to test themselves against the best in our Prem.
I’m English and I hope we’re shit in the 6 nations so people see what we’re missing and hopefully people will finally be honest about Marcus smith I.e he’s a very good club player
Good luck to him, he deserves the experience of France and escaping the idiots who hound him for no good reason. I hope we see him back for England but if not thanks for everything he has done
Barring any injuries a stint at racing should mold him into his "final form". International 10's mature in their mid 30's. Playing in the top 14 against such varied opposition should really see him reach his full potential.
@@JTAIT-b7g Hardly. Look at Sexton 38 or Carter 35. If you can make it to that age bracket without injury you have a tactical knowledge advantage due to experience. There's a reason guys are still playing test rugby in that position well into their 30's. You really should learn more about the game mate.
@@wanderer5598 Sexton was a dinosaur at the RWC at least 2 years past his prime, hardly any 10's are still playing international rugby at his age let alone being anywhere near their prime. DC was on top of his game well before his mid-thirties as was Jonny Wilkinson which is just as well really considering they both retired in their mid thirties funnily enough.
Gutted to see him go as a Saracens fan, but no complaints about him going - he deserves a move like this. I still don't think you should write him off playing for Saracens/England again - he's signed a 2 year contract which leaves open him returning for a Last Dance at 34/35 yrs old - Sexton played until 37.
On the discussion point of Sarries and the future at 10, I have a left field solution. Go get Ross Byrne from Leinster. He is a big unit and would fit in to the Sarries way.
Don't blame him for walking away from England. It's one thing getting endless abuse from SA fans (even when their heroic captain constantly says what a great guy Farrell is) but the garbage and endless abuse from England fans is hard to understand. The prawn sandwich brigade who never rose above the ranks of their school 2nd XV always bang on about "he can't tackle, he's arrogant" etc but the truth is they've pushed one of the best players of his generation into turning his back on England. Good on Farrell and I hope Paris is good to him!
Hope Faz smashes it in france, hes a legend of English rugby. Absolute disgrace how hes been treated here in recent years, good on him for taking a money move and leaving the toxic english press and fanbase.
No Arundel got a hair dryer on the training pitch. The captain sets the standards that is his job . Happens all the time, I suspect Arundel will be looking forward to playing with him
Hé s a great player no doubt. I wonder what will be the French fans reaction though. Hé s not particular loved here.. he will definitely get a special treatment on the pitch Hoping for him he ll have a chance of proving he s a good man as advertised in England The fans from opposite teams will root for him to get smashed (legally, no tucked elbows 😅) and cheer on every single mistake he will make. Part of the welcome process 😂
Best wishes to Owen and family. From what I have seen you had unjust criticism to someone that served England so well. I have lived and worked in France for more than ten years so here is my advice. If you drive forget roundabout etiquette. Embrace the food and culture it is what the French do best. However if you are like me take a load of Patak's sauces and dark chocolate biscuits and your preferred tea bags. Your kids will be well educated as is most of the French population. Learn the language or at least attempt because hey it's worth it and it gives you a new skill. I wear an English red rose (sorry fellow Yorkies) on my back when I am in the factory where I work in Toulouse and it creates such a friendly banter very much like working in Blighty where you can be critical and friendly in the same breath
Hope that all those over the top "I hate Farrell" idiots are happy now. Meanwhile, over here in France, we can't wait to see Racing and Farrell against Toulouse, La Rochelle, Bordeaux.....
Nothing but best wishes for Owen Farrell! May be the British media circus will realise how wrong it is to push all the wrong ‘personal’ buttons on social media and in the press! I hope he and his family will enjoy some peace in this amazing country that I am lucky enough to call home! 😊
Great, maybe Farrell can come back to proper international form and then get selected on Merritt and form not historic leadership capability. Given up listening to these guys as Haskell only sees his playing experience, ie jones was great and shouldn’t have been questioned because he was loyal to Haskell. Great very useful. Of course, it should be very developmental for Farrell. He will be taking himself out of his comfort zone and therefore pushing himself to levels he has not been to before.
He won't be paid as much as now ( sources says around 450000-500000 € a year, though nobody saw the contract), it's not the Eldorado like 10 years ago. But Paris is maybe too big for a quiet man like him, however i wish him the best at Racing 92. I hope he pulls up a Wilko.
He is a marquee player on a reported £800k a year. Add 25k a pop for 8 england games a year. Hes doing this to extend his career not playing as many intense games and get experiance for his coaching career
Racing pumped Perpignan, Poo and Oyannex at home this year. A club team full of internationals or leading England who everyone wants to beat (Italy excluded 🤣). I think statistically the top 14 is slower too.
RFU need to look at what they did with Anthony Watson and prepare to do that with other players. I think we are going to loose so many good players to France and it will cost us. Happy for Owen, this is is the right decision.
Faz in the Paris suburbs in an Olympic year... Interesting. Hope he hammers some hate of defeat into this gang of insta starlets... Can't wait to hear his Geordie French à la Shaun Edwards... 😂
Lots of positive comments, fair enough. However, does anyone else think this has been badly handled by OF? Taking a break for mental health quickly turned into a lucrative contract in France. Was he being honest from the start? Not saying anything one way or another, but it doesn’t look good.
Yeah, I do think that's the constant stick and scrutiny made him want to join Racing, but I think the fact he was joining Racing was more of a factor of him not wanting to play in the 6N. He knew all the talk would have been about him possibly playing his last 6N, and the game vs France would have been overload. To be clear, I don't think that means he handled it badly etc. I just think he realised the whole of the 6N would have been constant talk about his move, and unless England won the tournament constant criticism and calls for Smith to play.
I've nothing against OF at all. I always thought he came across as an alright bloke in his interviews and couldn't understand the negativity toward him personally. However, as a 10 I think his moment has passed. He had a period playing for England where he did a good enough job but he's hardly an 'electric' fly half or even that creative. After the 2019 world cup he went right off the boil and his last couple of games for Saracens have been error-strewn at best. We all ride a wave at times but that wave eventually hits the beach and the ride is over. Good luck to him at Racing, hope he makes a fortune and enjoys it but I can't see his style gelling with the French way of doing things. And, with all the respect in the world, I hope we never see him again in an England shirt. Time to look forward...
Good on him, he is probably sick of the press and arm chair nobody’s criticising him every week for something And the number of young and top flight internationals that are going there Shows how weak the premier game has become Hardly growing our domestic game
After all the grief he’s suffered at the hands of so called rugby fans, is it any wonder that Owen Farrell has decided that he’s had enough of the English rugby scene. Everyone will be sorry to see him leave Sarries and for the tenure of his time in France, England too, but it’s a well trodden path for great players as they head towards the the twilight of their careers; Wilco, Dan Cater et al, so true rugby fans will only offer their best wishes to Owen and his family.
Best of luck to Farrell he took alot of unfair snide criticism, some of it clearly due to his northern/RL background. Unfortunately rugby union in general has suffered massively since covid.. It doesnt seem to engage people as it did... rule changes and refs consistently killing it are turning people away. Thats before you debate clubs dying before our eyes and the RFU mercilessly taking fans for granted with higher and higher ticket prices and second rate merchandise
Good on Faz, media are rotten here. You have a limited shelf life as a player, go make hay while the sun shines. Might make the RFU look at their players playing abroad policy, probably not and just wishful thinking on my part that the dinosaurs in charge of English rugby will listen but you can always dream.
Why is this such an issue ? You guys are a walking contradiction . One minute you say the press is too harsh next thing you question every thing he does .
They were pretty positive on the whole thing if you actually watch the video, the only questions were asked towards each other and each one was answered with positivity and support for Farrell, bit of a pointless comment tbh
I cant remember them doing the same for all the other english players who went to France ..... and they were eligible for england too , they're obsessed with him .@@georgerobson7428
Saracens the cheats. He was only kept at Saracens with the cheating money. It meant that Saracens never developed a proper buisness model or club fandom, developed a £40.8 million debt and the league is still unwinding from the issues. It meant we had to watch games that were silly stacked and other teams had their players poached. Ashton, Wigglesworth, Hodgson, Daly, etc where all poached with cheating money to surround him. Meanwhile the horrid atmosphere on the pitch was dreadful, often coming from Farrell. Because he has never been at a community club he never developed a rapport with fans which spilled over to England. Borthwick says now that things have to change with England meeting fans expectations - Farrell going is the best chance of that happening. Goodbye and good riddance. As for the future of Saracens, first they need to pay back their debts from proper commercial activities before they go bust, not cream off the profits from those activities as some sort of extra payments to players. Second develop a fly half from their academy!
Ok Karen. Have another cry and put on your big boy pants and move on like everyone else has ffs. I love it when people like you bring up the Saracens cap like it is a unique situation that hasn’t happened to most clubs at some point . Nor are Sarries responsible for the problems in the current league, what a stupid thing to suggest , yes they have brought players from other clubs just like every other rugby club does . They also have one of the most successful academies in Europe . Sarries is a community club , if you go there you will see the level of engagement they have with the local community as well as how much he is loved by the Sarries fans . All clubs have debt and Sarries are managing theirs more successfully than most. I get you don’t like Sarries or Farrell and that’s fine. Don’t go there, no one is going to miss you . Interested at your lack of knowledge about how debt is managed and how it is repaid. I’m guessing that you are not interested in the management of debt in other clubs and how players all clubs pay for their players. I’m pleased for Farrell going to 92 and he won’t have to put up with bs from people like you.

Bang on - media (and public) hounded him unnecessarily and forced this. Credit to him for taking the step across. Our loss. Their gain.
Bienvenue Owen! I really hope you'll shine as Sir Wilko did for Toulon. Great news for the Top 14 anyway. Cheers from Brittany.
Unfortunately a lot of casual rugby fans who didn’t have a clue and a big big mouth ruined it all. The abuse and lack of respect he got was disgusting and should never have happened. Don’t blame him at all. Best of luck Faz
He could have learnt how to tackle…

Great move by Lancaster. He now has his "Sexton" at Racing. He has a general on the field who will drive his vision.
Get that financial security further set, great stuff 👍 doesn’t need the stress and hassle from fans anymore. Done plenty
Good on him 👏👍

Would love it if he came on the show!

He’s about as Northern as a northerner can be. Where he went to school is arbitrary.

1000% we'll see him back in a white shirt lad just needs a break.
One other Wiganer who has done rather well in France so far, is Shaun Edwards. Sure that will help him settle there too. Good luck Faz!!
Should speak to Franck Mesnel who played 10 or 12, for the Racing RFC and France in another era.
Hask needs to stop the rising inflections

Well Finn couldn’t get Racing over the line. Neither could Johnny Sexton. Or Dan Carter. Perhaps Faz will be the missing piece in the jigsaw…
Carter won top14
Johnny was a baby playing for racing. He was no where near as good as he was in the latter stages. It’s also not just down to one player

Good for Owen; escape the toxic English bubble, make some cash with zero pressure!
Thank you for everything Fazza!

Love this GBR do I win a prize 🤣

That’s because his contract wasn’t signed . It’s irrelevant

2 year deal will mean he can always come back to a english club to open him up for the world cup
Best of luck to Farrell he took alot of unfair snide criticism, some of it clearly due to his northern/RL background. Unfortunately rugby union in general has suffered massively since covid.. It doesnt seem to engage people as it did... rule changes and refs consistently killing it are turning people away.
Thats before you debate clubs dying before our eyes and the RFU mercilessly taking fans for granted with higher and higher ticket prices and second rate merchandise
Please Don't say Rassing ninety two. It's either Racing 92 or Rassing quatre vingt douze
He will play for Lions before he plays for England (if he ever does). Big loss for England and sarries.
Good on Faz, media are rotten here. You have a limited shelf life as a player, go make hay while the sun shines. Might make the RFU look at their players playing abroad policy, probably not and just wishful thinking on my part that the dinosaurs in charge of English rugby will listen but you can always dream.
Didn’t the french Boo him more than the English fans🤷♂️Tuto Binuto!
Will he get booed in France or applauded????
Does Tindall believe he is a less 'rounded' person than Haskell for not playing in France? 'Sake.
Good luck Owen.
Damn. I thought he was coming to RFCLA or Rugby Football Club Los Angeles in MLR
Quade Cooper - next Sarries 10.
Mannie Libbok would be more exciting
HE IS FINALLY GONE!
I thought he was still in tackle school.
Hilarious. Brilliant
You must be a real high achiever....or loser😊
Reading l’Equipe which is the sports bible where every fan has their say , I don’t think he will be popular at Racing
I think he is a great signing for 92 and I’m sure when he arrives the fans will get behind him
Couldn't care less. Stayed too long, just like the Vunipola's, Tuilagi, May, Cole.
We would of been obliterated in the game against South Africa if not for Cole, Marler and to a lesser extent May
woah, look out for the tough guy!
