A lot of people harshly blaming one Lion after New Zealand blitz

Not his finest hour

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.
