Following criticism of his captain during England’s third-place finish at last autumn’s World Cup, Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall said certain members of the media “need to look at themselves” for their “unfair scrutiny”.

“It’s lots of things it’s never one thing why you come to a decision, it’s never just a specific one,” said Farrell.

“I thought it would be the best thing for me and obviously there’s a change happening off the back of it as well.”

The fly-half, who captained his country to the World Cup final in 2019, admitted he deleted social media for the recent tournament in France, but does not put his recent decisions down to just that.

“I don’t really look too much into it and it’s hard to get away from it,” he added. “You feel it at times, but it would be wrong for me to entertain it too much.

“I don’t expect people to know what I’m like or how I am as a person, so when it does get personal it would be silly to listen to that on my part.”
