Rugby fans shocked as we see the funny side of Owen Farrell for the first time on TV
Owen Farrell being very funny is not something you see every day. But he was certainly was that in the hilarious clip that BT put out on their social media last night.
The England captain went on BT Sport last night to talk all things Saracens and England.
Farrell is known by many rugby fans for being a hard-nosed, straight0faced character, and he was the complete opposite of this in this hilarious video that went out last night at 6pm.
In the video Ugo Moyne goes up to Englishman asking him to show the fans what his kicking technique is like.
What happened next completely shocked us, in a good way.

Farrell rarely cracks much of a smile in front of the media as he is without a doubt one of the most media trained people that we’ve ever seen.
This skit was brilliant to see precisely because of that. Farrell being funny is quite a rare thing, and we don’t mean that in a savage way!
