'Farrell focused on winning, not making friends'

Former Scotland lock Jim Hamilton says Owen Farrell's only concern on this British and Irish Lions tour is winning.

Hamilton who played alongside Farrell at Saracens says the fly-half "isn't there to make friends, he's there to win at all costs".

Former Wales and Lions flanker Martyn Williams was also full of praise, describing Farrell as "the best player in Europe", with 5 live Sport Lions reporter Chris Jones adding the 25-year-old’s achievements with Saracens ensure he “commands so much respect” among his Lions team-mates.
