Farr far afield

OWEN FARRELL will find relief from a week of acclaim over his impending 100th England cap by losing himself in Saturday’s clash with New Zealand.

Eddie Jones’ squad will gather tomorrow night to honour their captain with words and a presentation organised by his Saracens team-mates.

“I’m not too good at listening to stuff about myself,” said Farrell, 31.

“The sooner we get on to the game, the better.

“You’re not used to hearing people say nice things about you. I don’t think it’ll go on for too long.”

Farrell instead is fully focused on being immersed in the All Blacks’ visit to Twickenham.

“The best part of the games is how engaging they are, when you’re lost in them,” he said.

“There’s nothing else going on, there’s no worry, there’s no anything.”
