(Reuters) - England captain Owen Farrell has no intention of fading into the background and says he will continue to play for as long as he can if he is still enjoying his rugby.

The 32-year-old flyhalf has played 112 matches for England, and led the side to a runners-up finish at the 2019 World Cup and third place at the 2023 edition in France.
