No doubts for Farrell after late Lions call

The Chronicle

July 22, 2025

OWEN Farrell did not hesitate to answer the call to join his fourth British and Irish Lions tour even though he was aware of the potential “poison” his involvement might generate.

Farrell captains the Lions for the first time in today's match against the First Nations and Pasifika XV at Marvel Stadium - 17 days after arriving in Australia as an injury replacement for Elliot Daly.

The former England captain had just finished a testimonial golf day for former Saracens teammate Jackson Wray when his father Andy called with the invitation to join the squad.

Mechanical issues with his car meant he was able to disappear to answer the phone without raising the suspicions of his golf partners.
