ENGLAND U18
Back-rower Rob Farrar was promoted into the Falcons' senior academy in the summer of 2018, having shone in the junior academy. The West Cumbrian was capped by England at Under-18s level, making his Falcons A-Team debut while still playing for an all-conquering Sedbergh School team which won the Rosslyn Park 10s and Sedbergh 7s. Farrar featured strongly for the Falcons A-Team which reached the final of the 2018-19 A-League, and was an unused replacement for the first team in their Premiership Rugby Cup trip to Harlequins that same season.
