Farrell with no regrets after Racing: Return to England and Selection?

Owen Farrell: No Regrets After His Time at Racing 92

Owen Farrell has expressed that he does not regret his move to Racing 92 and the Top 14, despite his return to Saracens after only one season in France. Farrell’s return to England was announced on Monday, after a campaign marked by injuries in the Gallic country. The player has signed a two-year contract with Saracens. The Premiership club has paid a sum to Racing 92 close to 200,000 euros, according to sources close to the matter. Despite his time in France not turning out as he expected, the 33-year-old player stated he had no regrets.

I’m happy to have done it and grateful. The place was great. There’s a lot of potential at Racing and the people were wonderful to me and my family loved the time there.

Farrell also admitted his disappointment at how things unfolded, but emphasized his gratitude for the experience. During his time at Racing, Farrell suffered several injuries that limited his playing time.

Being injured is tough, especially during the time I was this year, I’ve never had a year like this.

The player added that, despite the difficulties, he enjoyed his time in France and does not regret having gone. Although he was not selected for the British & Irish Lions team, led by his father Andy, Farrell has stated that he has not retired from international rugby. His return to England makes him eligible again for Steve Borthwick’s team.

The only goal for me now is to come back here and love what I do.

Farrell concluded by saying that he hopes to have a good impact on his return and that for now, his focus is on feeling good.
