Amid the chaos of England's Grand Slam celebrations Owen Farrell found a quiet corner of the Stade de France to call home.

“I spoke to my Dad on Saturday night after we won,” says Farrell Jr of his father, Andy, who until the end of last year was England's assistant coach.

“He watched it at home I think. He just said 'well done'. Like he would after any regular game. I guess he was pleased.”

But this wasn't any regular game. Was England's first Grand Slam in 13 years not worthy of slightly more praise?

“OK, it was probably a little different [to a normal game],” says Owen, smiling. “But my Dad's just enjoying watching us now. Was he proud? I'd imagine so, yeah.”
