Owen Farrell wins Aviva Premiership Golden Boot

Saracens’ Owen Farrell has won the Golden Boot award in the Aviva Premiership for kicking the most points in the league, according to the official Saracens website.

The Englishman scored a total of 171 points from the tee during the course of the season, which is ten more than his nearest challenger George Ford.

The Saracens man has been highly accurate with his kicks and is one of the most reliable kickers in the entire league.

He will need to continue his impressive form for Saracens as they prepare for the Premiership semi-final against Wasps later on this month.

Farrell was one of the bright sparks for England in this year’s disastrous Six Nations campaign and will be needed once again at next year’s world cup.

With skipper Dylan Hartley missing the summer tour of South Africa due to a concussion, Farrell is expected to be handed the armband by head coach Eddie Jones, who has praised him for his leadership qualities.

The 26-year-old scored 39 conversions, 30 penalties and one drop goal for Saracens this season.
