Quotes from Owen Farrell

Rugby is a game that's constant. If you are not growing with it, you get left behind.

Rugby's all I've ever wanted to do.

International rugby is a step up, and this is somewhere you come to get better and improve as a player.

There will be nothing better than playing international rugby. It's a dream come true.

I think I'm more of a saver than a spender - more because I just like being at home.

I do a lot of kicking practice and passing, and it has made a massive difference.

The main thing for me - as a leader, anyway, is that you perform well. That's most of the battle.

I'm no good at sitting on a beach and doing nothing.

Wales are obviously a team that like to play rugby in your half and put as many people as possible in the front line and get off the line and put pressure on you.

Getting to the halfbacks is a big part of any game.

You review a game. You don't brush over anything you did well and look at anything you could improve. There's stuff to get better at, it's not hard to find.

The key to success is hard work. You want to feel as comfortable as you can going into the game, and you do that by preparing well.

I have some special things at home, but not too many. I've got two shirts framed - that's all - my first Premiership final with Saracens and my first England cap. They're not signed by anyone; they're not even washed. They stink!

The main thing about being captain is keeping your own performance good, and then everything else should fall into place off the back of that.

I would never think of myself as a celebrity.

I don't think anybody goes onto the pitch and wants to go backwards.

I'm pleased to have been able to contribute to some good team performances.

It's always a balance... being clear-headed but being aggressive and as combative as you need to be.

Communicating and being loud is a big part of my game.

It doesn't bother me whether I am or I'm not compared to my dad. I do not feel any pressure at all from being his son.

Your focus has to switch to being as good as you can be for your club.

I spent my time chasing rucks and never managing to hit any, so I quickly switched out to the backs.

I want to learn, but I also want to show that I can cope. That's what you always want to do, to step up and perform.

I only take pleasure in making a break if I've made the correct decision.
