Farrell move may be smart - Noble
Andy Farrell
Great Britain coach Brian Noble believes a move to rugby union may benefit his captain Andy Farrell.

The 29-year-old Wigan loose forward, who has led Britain in 29 of his 34 Tests, is in talks with the Rugby Football Union about a switch of codes.

"Maybe it's a smart move for Andy at 29 if he wants a new challenge," said the Britain and Bradford boss.

"It's disappointing to lose your best players but I'm pretty confident it's an opportunity for someone else."
