Owen Farrell, the England rugby legend, proved he’s a true all-rounder by stepping up for lineout duties in Saracens’ 30-7 triumph over Gloucester. With hooker Theo Dan temporarily out due to a high tackle penalty, Farrell took charge, showcasing pinpoint accuracy with his throws. Fans online couldn’t help but compare this to Henry Pollock’s recent challenges, where his lineout attempts for Northampton Saints were off the mark, much to the crowd’s dismay.
Farrell’s mini-masterclass went viral, as Saracens cheekily prompted fans to share the performance with Pollock. Supporters flooded social media with admiration, praising Farrell’s unexpected but skilled performance. “Love this! Impressive skills,” shared one fan, while another chimed in with “my goat for a reason.”
Even Saracens team-mate Ben Earl had a laugh post-match, commenting on Farrell’s quick adaptation to the hooker role. With such versatility, it seems there’s little the Saracens star can’t do!
