Is Farrell becoming the Lions favourite?
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
