He did at least try to stand flat. The issue was the standing. There was very little movement from him which as the game went on just meant the Tigers defence slid off him and piled in on the runners around him forcing the errors. It was pretty poor from him and if you're looking at the other flyhalf options for England he's well off their pace.
Post game Kelly said he saw the move that led to the intercept in video analysis in the week, it's a favourite of Sarries to get Daily into space where he can use his boot. Once he read it he knew he needed to get into that passing lane and Farrell just gave him the late Christmas present rather than getting hit.
My point being that he doesn't have the skill (or decision making ....see kelly try...it was a botched start to the move, so should have not proceeded...funnily enough he ran several yards before passing unlike the other mess ups) to execute under pressure that close to a defence.
Can't understand why Racing, who play as they do, would want Faz, who plays as he does.
I actually think Faz might thrive at Racing. Despite the hyperbole, he's a decent player and, being surrounded by talent and not being required to be the big I-Am, could see him calm the fuck down and be a better player by being less stressed.
Racing seem to play a lot off 9. If Farrell can control the game and get them into all the right areas, keep the scoreboard kicking over all that stuff then he might do very well there. I'd agree there's enough talent in that backline to play around him.

nobody has ever denied he is a decent player, and good in a side with a pack on top. He was bang average to poor yesterday. Despite the hyperbole he aint a great player....but he has a great career behind him so there is that.
