Friday Funnies: James Haskell and Owen Farrell Best Mates Compilation

Comments

A month ago, while England were on their successful tour of Australia, we were treated to some behind the scenes footage in the form of James Haskell winding up northerner Owen Farrell. The first video proved to be really popular, so here is a compilation of all of them together.

Farrell gives it his best go but Haskell's persistent attempts at bonding clearly get the better of him, with the archbishop of banterbury on top form during their adventures down under.

Of course it's all just a bit of a character Haskell is playing, but it makes for amusing viewing and it's nice to see that there is always a bit of time for shenanigans, even during a tense Test series.

    Is RD going to do an article about Joe Marler taking time out of rugby to play the part of Fleshlumpeater in the latest BFG?... Perhaps he had a voice over, but it was certainly him, I recognised him...

    "Of course it's all just a bit of a character Haskell is playing" - well, yes to an extent and particularly the David Brent element, but I met the bloke at a do a few years ago and he was EXACTLY like this for the whole evening.. Bloody hilarious if you ask me.
