itemprop=description content=Ford and Farrell will start together for the first time since March 2021.
George Ford believes his playmaking axis with Owen Farrell is ready to stand the test of time after England reunited their creative brains trust for Saturday’s World Cup clash with Samoa.
“We’ve done it a lot of times and even though not as much in recent times, you can just feel it,” the Sale fly-half said. “We’ve been having discussions all week about that partnership and combination – what do we need from each other? George’s father Mike was an assistant coach while Farrell’s father Andy was a member of the playing squad.“We spent time with the backs and the kickers. The lasting memories I have are kicking balls back for the kickers,” Ford said.
Farrell, who leads the team and has been assigned goalkicking duties, believes the best might yet be to come from being asked to pull the strings in sync with his long-standing friend.“I’m pretty close to George so we speak about everything rugby-wise, regardless of what the team is anyway. We’re on the same page. I’m looking forward to it,” Farrell said.
