It wasn’t the best 40 minutes of Owen Farrell’s rugby career.
He missed a couple of tackles, kicked out on the full when there wasn’t a whole lot of pressure on him and threw an intercepted pass.
He did score two penalties though so that was a redeeming factor but, overall, was a half to forget and Farrell and culminated in missing a crucial tackle in the lead up to Jordie Barrett’s try.
In the deciding Test match, Farrell has not performed at the levels expected of him and wasn’t short of critics.
Farrell, just sub yourself off lad. You are having an absolute 'mare! #LionsTour2017 #3rdtest 🏉 🏆 🇳🇿 🇬🇧

I'm no rugby expert, but Owen Farrell isn't that good. Good game though, it's almost watchable
