Assuming he is picked....

Hasn't Ben Youngs also achieved 100 caps?

With Farrell it's more about personality... when they talk about him, it's not about his physical talent... more his mental one...

A fine servant of the English game, and sure to be plenty more caps before time is called. A better man than he is generally given credit for as well

Farrell is very close to Wilkinson's points total as well, likely to beat it during the 6Ns.

Which probably says more how good Wilkinson was given he finished on 91 caps.

Sarah Hunter is now the most capped England player as she now has 138 Red Roses caps. She has said she wants to carry on for the time being, so will likely pick up a few more in the next 6N (and possibly beyond).

A great player continually under rated by English and opposing supporters. And a very nice chap off the field by all accounts. I’m a fan

Yep.

The finest lock I've had the pleasure of watching.

And he and Whitelock will break the record for most tests as a locking combination. The best combo I've seen play for NZ.

Legends.
