Owen Farrell makes history TWICE as England advance to World Cup last eight

The 32-year-old broke Jonny Wilkinson's all-time England points record during the Pool D game against Samoa.

However, the night will be mostly remembered for Farrell being 'timed out' while attempting a penalty goal, with England behind at the time.

Farrell exceeded the new 'shot clock' rule - a 60-second time limit allowed by referees - which meant his successful kick didn't count.

Thankfully for Farrell, it didn't prove costly, with Danny Care’s late try giving England an 18-17 victory.

“I didn’t see the clock," he said. "I wasn’t aware. It was above where I was picking my target.

"I got lost a little bit in the kick.

“It wasn’t good enough and I’m glad for the team’s sake that it didn’t cost us.

"Hopefully it doesn’t happen again.”

While England have advanced to a quarter-final clash with Fiji on Sunday on the back of a 100 per cent record, World Cup winning scrum-half Matt Dawson is unconvinced they'll get much further if Farrell remains in the side.

"I'd be amazed, astounded, if Farrell is at 10 (for the next game)," he told the BBC Rugby Union Daily Podcast.

"In the last quarter he put in some wayward passes and gave the ball back to Samoa when they were on the charge.

"He didn't have his head in the game about penalties and the shot clock.

"This is about a knockout game which is going to be a tough ask and you need the right people in the right shirts.

"Farrell will go down as one of the greats for England, but at the moment he's not at the levels of the other players at 10 or 12.

"And no matter how much you try to squeeze that square peg into a round hole it isn't going to go.

"I think there's a ripple effect around the team."

Elsewhere in the last eight, Wales play Argentina and Ireland face New Zealand on Saturday.

After England’s tie with Fiji, hosts France entertain South Africa on Sunday.
