FORD ON FARRELL

WE GET on well. He (Farrell) is a great friend but we’re used to playing against each other now. We understand we’re just two cogs in the machines of two teams. Hopefully we can have an influence on the game. There’s a history with how long we’ve known each other and played together. You enjoy playing against the best players (like him).

It’s always a great challenge. You always know the game is going to swing one way or another and it brings the best out of you to play against players like that. They’re the challenges you want.
