FARRELL DEMANDS ANOTHER FAST START

-

put in the garage, we put the covers on the Ferrari and give it a good grease and oil change. That gives Jonny a good visual for his week. He is very detailed with his preparatio­n.’ England hope May is ready to run riot again, 13 days after his hat-trick heroics against France. On the opposite wing, England will deploy Jack Nowell — a different type of rapid vehicle. ‘Jack has got unbelievab­le foot work — he would beat you in a phone box,’ said Wisemantel. Asked what make of car Nowell would be, he added: ‘He has got really good gas out of the blocks — that’s the profile and you can put the car to it!’ Captain Owen Farrell also addressed the fast-start theme, saying: ‘We are looking to do the same as we’ve done for the past two games. Emotionall­y we have been spot on and that is shown by the way we have started games.’ There is no indication that the visitors should expect to encounter any dirty tricks this evening, unlike in 2015 when they were involved in a tunnel confrontat­ion after being kept waiting by the hosts. But if there are any attempts to unsettle his side, Farrell is convinced they will take it in their stride, adding: ‘If anything does get thrown at us, I’d expect or hope we would be calm enough to deal with it.’
