Farrell to leave Saracens for Racing 92 in July

Good luck anyone would do the same to provide financially for their family.

I wish him every success. A man who puts everything out there for his national team, often carrying colleagues who don’t follow the tactical plan and then getting pilloried for the mistakes that can’t be avoided. Enjoy your new life Sir. And thank you for what you’ve done for the National team

Well done 👏 you deserve it

England France based exiles coached by England France based coach (Shaun Edwards) would very possibly beat the current England team. This story is actually much bigger than Faz

Good luck to him. He owes the English game nothing. Future coach like his dad??? Hope so.

England, build you up knock you down. Yeah he’s got faults but so has everyone on the planet. He’s been a loyal servant. He can do what he wants and good luck to him. Imagine living and playing in a foreign country with your family, away from the constant sniping here. Bliss.

Great decision, the gallagher prem is a busted flush. Lowest standard in pro rugby at present, awful attendances and an awful TV deal. No wonder clubs are folding.

Good luck to the man but shame there's a HYS as already a load of derogatory and defamatory comments about him already.
Interesting it was only a week or so ago there were articles about online bullying and harassment and yet they persist on an international broadcaster website.

Good look Owen. And thanks!!

Good luck Faz, you've been immense for England.

Kind of sad he had to go down the old ‘mental health’ road with this..

Avoid injury in the six nations to guarantee a big pay day in France, interesting.

Go where the money is, I would. If the RFU don't want to pick him because he's in France it's their loss. Australia and South Africa do not employ such draconian rules so why should the RFU?

Thought he was taken time off for his mental well being?

this "rule" about not useing players based OMG in actual Europe is bonkers. Football for once looks sensible

Break from international rugby to negotiate his contract with racing

Lots of bitterness and jealous comments, no surprise there! He's a professional athlete with talent and has probably worked hard for many years to get where he has. Good luck in the latest chapter of your career Mr Farrell.

At least the trolls and warriors behind their keyboards can now move onto the next victim, sure he will love it in france
