Farrell will be captain of Lions for the first time
Yorkshire Evening Post
|July 22, 2025
Owen Farrell will lead the British and Irish Lions for the first time in today's match against the First Nations & Pasifika XV at Marvel Stadium (11am).
-
Farrell is given his maiden start of the tour 17 days after he joined the Lions squad as a call-up for Elliot Daly and forges a midfield partnership with fellow late arrival Jamie Osborne.
The former England captain came on as a second-half replacement against AUNZ on July 12 and produced some eye-catching moments in attack as he blew away the cobwebs in his first appearance since May 4.
