Owen Farrell is set to be called up to the British and Irish Lions Tour.
Sky Sports News understands the former England captain will join the squad in Australia after Elliot Daly suffered an arm injury after Wednesday’s win over Queensland Reds.
Farrell, 33, has not played international rugby since taking a break after the 2023 World Cup, but he will join the Lions squad ahead of Saturday’s match against the New South Wales Waratahs – live on Sky Sports at 11am.
This would be Farrell’s fourth Lions tour, having been part of the 2013, 2017 and 2021 editions.
