BOSS Andy Farrell has called up son Owen in a sensational Lions development Down Under - and insists he is now in contention for a Test spot.

Farrell Jnr, 33, will arrive in Australia today after answering an SOS call from his father, following news that Elliot Daly's tour is over after he broke his arm against the Reds on Wednesday.

Farrell has not played since May after concussion finished his disastrous season with Racing 92 in Paris.

Now resigned with Saracens, the fly-half will bring 112 England caps, three Lions tours and more than 1,200 Test points to the table - plus six Premiership titles and three European Cups - when he arrives.

He stepped back from Test rugby for mental-health reasons following the 2023 World Cup, after being targeted by social media trolls.
