Was it really outstanding or just the expected level for an international player? Daly kicked it, and chased to put people on-side, so Farrell is the covering 15 so moves over. To me it didn't seem especially note worthy. It looked to me more that he'd intended not to run out (and thus kick it back) and called mark late.
I think there was a delay in the sound vs the picture on that bit - I thought he'd cut it very fine to call mark before going out, but on a rewatch, his mouth moves a good couple of seconds before the mics picked up the yell.
