Owen Farrell Praises Noah Caluori's Rising Star Power Ahead of England Debut
Owen Farrell, the former England captain, has praised Noah Caluori, a teenage sensation, for his confidence and physical prowess during an impressive breakout season. The 19-year-old winger has emerged as a key player for Saracens, scoring five tries against Sale twice this season, including an astonishing performance in Saracens’ record 85-19 victory this past weekend. Caluori's remarkable contributions have revitalized Mark McCall’s squad, enhancing their chances of reaching the Premiership play-offs and making a strong case for inclusion in the senior England squad this summer. McCall remarked on Caluori's performance, stating, "I think that’s one of the better wing performances in the Premiership that I have seen for a long time." Farrell joined the chorus of admiration, telling The Telegraph: "Everyone sees all the high-ball stuff and his finishing, but he has at times done an unbelievable job coming off his wing and taking some tough carries as well." He emphasized Caluori's physicality and versatility, noting that he makes a significant impact throughout the game. With 17 Premiership tries from just six starts, Caluori has outperformed Tom Roebuck, England’s current right wing, during the recent match against Sale. His ascent is particularly impressive considering he was on loan at Ampthill in the Championship just three weeks ago. Farrell highlighted Caluori’s drive to improve and confidence, stating: "He’s obviously special... he knows he wants to learn more and do it as quickly as possible." In contrast, Farrell dismissed speculation about his own potential return to the England set-up, focusing instead on his current contributions and performance with Saracens.
