EDDIE JONES has warned England’s rugby rivals that they have not yet seen the best of Owen Farrell.

Farrell (left) has more than a century of caps for his country and turned 31 last weekend.

Finally clear of an injury-blighted season, Jones reckons great days lie ahead for Saracens’ playmaker.

“He’s the third highest points scorer in Test rugby, ever,” said the Australian. “But people don’t talk about him like he’s one of the greats of the game.

“To do that, you’re a great of the game. He keeps doing it, he’s only young and he’s going to get better.”
