Owen Farrell has other more pressing and more personal fears - in the 2019 WC final both him and Ford and the functioning of the English backline was totally destroyed by De Allende and Du Toit and that was one of the major reasons for England losing in that final. .
Remember how the Irish center went off injured after he tried to tackle De Allende and the same could happen to Farrell in the semi this coming week. Kolbe is a major problem for the English and so is Willemse as well.as De Allende and Du Toit.
The 2019 Final lead to an English loss by 20 points - will the result be even worse for England on Saturday, may quite likely be worse, . .
