Owen Farrell may be England\u2019s captain but he feels that leadership in the squad is a group effort as he goes into tonight’s World Cup semi final against South Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe strength of leadership in this group is massive \u2013 everyone leads in their own way,\u201d said Farrell.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo walk out at the start and take the atmosphere in is always special but once you get going, it\u2019s about playing rugby and focusing solely on your job.\u201d<\/p>\n

What does Owen Farrell\u2019s celebration mean?<\/h2>\n

Farrell has been seen celebrating his tries and kicks in a unique way.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The celebration involves linking both his index fingers together as he holds his hands out in front of him.<\/p>\n

And the reason for his celebration stems from his close relationship with one of his biggest fans – 10-year-old Jack Johnson.<\/p>\n

Jack is an avid sports fan but suffers from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), a debilitating muscle-wasting disorder that will leave him crippled and unable to walk.<\/p>\n

After learning about Jack\u2019s condition a few years ago, England star Farrell has been heavily involved in raising awareness of the charity Joining Jack.<\/p>\n
