Owen and Andy Farrell as team-mates in 2008!

We go deep into the World Rugby archive to find father and son combination Andy and Owen Farrell when they played together for Saracens in 2008. Today, Andy is preparing for a World Cup as Ireland's defence coach whilst Owen will be an integral part of an England team coached by Eddie Jones - the same man who gave Owen his first chance over a decade ago...

Most personality I’ve ever seen displayed by Owen

[@bruhlewis9508]

To be fair I think he has a lot of personality, he doesn’t do interviews much, regardless of what you think of him on the field he does come across very well when he does interviews

[@rowanspencer1861]

Please say there’s someone who watches squidge rugby giggling at this

[@tkmoneymax5260]

I watch the legend thats is squidge rugby

I watch squish’s rugby but I don’t understand what people are commenting about... Can someone explain please?

[@tomconnellan4474]

@@joshplatojohn12345hsbs It shows them in this video as being very close, but in reality, Owen barely got any attention from his father, and Squidge shows this very well

Pretty awesome too be honest playing with your old man professionally

Not when he picks the team!

LeBron James might team up with his son.

[@Garyboldyful]

Anybody else think Owen looks a lot like Andre Arshavin (ex Arsenal midfielder) I’m this clip?

[@MobKnowledge]

0:57 - Squide was spot on.

[@JanSanono]

I came to the comments expecting a squidge reference

[@cpcampbell3]

Owen Farrell is definitely built more like an O’Loughlin (his mums side). His dad at 16 was bigger physically than Owen Farrell at his biggest. Still two standout players of their respective generations.

[@Ese96Agoaye]

We all know why this is recommended...

[@joaquinjoaquin3992]

So thats where he learned to shoulder up.

[@Colinthediver]

Nah his dad played rugby League before union so he learnt the shoulder from rugby league

[@hanoitripper1809]

That’s Pocock 7 and James oconir at 10 plus Sharp 5& Harry in back row. Not a bad team to debut against for faz

Good to 2 rugby union lads talk where they come from!

[@changingroom8902]

O’connor was only 18 too during that game... but made his debut at 16

[@JohnSmith-jd7hy]

Zombie Jesus he played for Ireland lol 😂

[@themistoclesbrandao]

Great Farrells!

[@hughjanus501]

They look like brothers. Very small age difference. Probably conceived below the age of consent. Andy was a grandfather at 28.

[@matherspad]

Ignore what I’m about to say but 16

Ignore what I’m about to say but he was 16 can’t you do basic maths

[@simonjackson7269]

My son played against Owen a couple of years before this.... I also played with and against my son!!!

[@tollyt7465]

I played against my son in a pre season friendly many moons ago.. He's still got my stud marks on his back haha He would have joined me in the national divisions, promising scrum half before he had a motorcycle scrambling accident and snapped his ankle..

[@tollyt7465]

@canvas bed absolutely.. As the coaches used to say 'if You're on the deck, You are grass' ... If I didn't leave the pitch looking like a hornby railways track, I wasn't playing well.. Forwards today are far too good looking haha

[@tollyt7465]

@canvas bed Yeah me too.. I was considered big for a hooker at 15 1/2 stone.. I would be smaller than most backs now..

[@tollyt7465]

@canvas bed Dam right.. And friends made for life.. I'm meeting a couple of Tongans an Aussie and a Kiwi from my playing days in Japan for the WC with 5 other mates..

[@joshplatojohn12345hsbs]

Wow. Not a single shoulder tackle in this video. Good job

[@strawberrykicker2]

There is a high shot though

[@vvvwaroshi]

which won?

[@rohp1283]

That loss in the final of the RWC against the Springboks, rounded him up as a leader. It thought him humility and respect. He will win the next world cup.

[@willemkotze2611]

So Andy must have been 16 years old when Owen was born...

[@tongsupavit]

Willem Kotze Really?

[@richard5450]

Only just 16 as well, which means he was actually 15 when ... well, you know what.

[@charlottescott7150]

yes Andy married his childhood sweetheart and is still with her. Amazing

So was it his dad who told him to underestimate the Springboks?

[@o.binwheelie9733]

Leave it out mate, you’re getting worse than the English for going on about it 😂

[@jacobesmith12]

2:26 even back then he was tackling round the neck

[@dripsa]

two words that still haunt owen: cheslin kolbe!

[@patrickchilds2987]

A great try and moment for Bok fans but is a world class winger sidestepping out of position center really that spectacular ? Far more impressive IMHO were the Bok front five in the final

[@johnboyle9082]

SOMEONE SHOW SQUIDGE

[@hillarebelloc6014]

Was Andy 12 when he became a father?

[@Jamesp1972]

Apart from somehow beating NZ in the world cup, he's curated a particularly average phase of England rugby

[@patrickchilds2987]

Depends how you set your bar. 106 Caps, playing since 2012 , 3 x 6 nations titles, led Englands record consecutive win record of 18 wins, finalist at RWC. Then you have Premiership and Heineken Cup wins, European player of the year 2017, , 3 Lions wins and 45 odd points from JW to become the 2nd highest points scorer in international rugby behind Dan Carter. I would say that’s a pretty Impressive career

[@mattyboysa1]

Basics….like tacking

[@James-hm3jk]

Don’t they like...hate eachother
