Former Ireland international Brian O'Driscoll was on hand with BT Sport this afternoon to discuss the incident and let it be known that this is not the first time Farrell's tackle technique has been called into question, as we all know.
“Question marks around the technique?” O'Driscoll said.
“And there's previous with Owen Farrell as well, we've seen it in the past, and he doesn't appear for changing! “There's not much of a wrap going on. It's funny because there's something hugely honourable about your outhalf and your leader wanting to put his body on the line like that but we've seen this time and time again. “And he's gotten away with this one! “Whether it was a red card or a yellow card is subjective depending on your stance but it was definitely foul play of some sort.We'd be very surprised if Farrell wasn't cited tomorrow but the big question is will get get banned? And could he miss some of the Six Nations? We'll just have to wait and see.
