"I asked him why he has got one," said Farrell. "He said, 'It's grandad [Andy's] team'. "I said, 'Well, you can wear a suit like grandad does, then, not the kit!' "They’re into anything and my dad also got them a Man City top which I’m not happy about as well. They’re also obsessed with Batman and Spiderman at the minute and were dressed up as them last week. Someone sent us a picture and said they looked like Del Boy and Rodney [from Only Fools and Horses]."Farrell is now 31 and in his 11th season as a Test rugby player. He has the captaincy back, now that Courtney Lawes has been ruled out. Asked by the Sunday reporters what to expect from him as a leader of this England team, he highlighted Sam Warburton and Johnny Sexton as two captains he has taken from to add to his own game. "Over the course of my career I’ve learned from some of the best," he said. "Whether that be on Lions tours – that third Test in New Zealand and seeing the way Sam Warburton was and seeing the way Johnny [Sexton] drives everything on the training field and demands from people. I can name a lot more. "It’s about doing the right thing at the right time and drawing from that experience, whilst also trying to be yourself. Do I ever get nervous? It’s more nervous energy, excitement."
