It's probably to early to say. However, Owen Farrell seems to be making his voice very well heard. His consistency from the tee secured England an important victory over Ireland at the weekend and made the race for the Lions No.10 jersey even closer.

@scrumfiverugby Farrell has been the most impressive. Place kicking superb as is his kicking out of hand and his physicality/defence is good

Ireland's Jonny Sexton, who sustained a hamstring injury on Sunday, has been the strong favourite since debates about the 2013 squad began. There is definite reason for optimism from Warren Gatland's point of view as more players continue to emerge as contenders from the Home Nations.

“@scrumfiverugby: I agree with @khithepie, Farrell has been the most impressive fly-half so far, not put a foot wrong #ScrumFive6N.”

With high goal kicking and tackling success rates as well completing all passes he's made, Farrell is proving he has got the key ingredients sorted.

@scrumfiverugby would have to be based on form, but tour not for months and 6N not finished yet, 2 early to say
