Owen Farrell insists he will have no fear when he lines up at fly-half for England in Saturday's clash with New Zealand at Twickenham.

Farrell was full of praise for opposite number Carter, who returns for the All Blacks after missing last weekend's win over Wales through injury, and knows England will have a tough time containing him at Twickenham. He added: "The thing about him is the way he is always in complete control of what he's doing. "He's always in control of everything going on around him and he almost looks like he could play it in his sleep. "A lot of work goes into that and the way he puts things behind him as well means nothing really affects him during a game. That is a great quality to have."
