[QUOTE="tsof, post: 803548, member: 72542"] I think there's a few reasons in reality. None more so than the fact that Farrell's game has come on leaps and bounds over the course of this season. At Sarries he is playing a more expansive game, taking it to the line a lot more. His performance away at Ulster in the HC was a real coming of age for him in being a more attacking threat and he's continued that since then. Not to be underestimated. There's also the fact that they've had the consistency of selection as a pairing. Lancaster frequently spoke about the two playing as a pairing but rarely did, IIRC. (Due to both injury and Lancaster bottling it) Jones hasn't had that issue and stuck by them - even if they didn't look comfortable in his first few games. [/QUOTE]
