# Rugby: Former England captain Owen Farrell has received a shock British and Irish Lions call-up after utility back Elliot Daly was ruled out of the Australian tour with a fractured arm. The 33-year-old, a three-time Lions tourist and son of coach Andy Farrell, earned the last of his 112 Test caps at the 2023 World Cup and hasn’t played for nearly nine weeks. The flyhalf is a proven international performer and when the initial 38-man squad was announced his father indicated he could be an injury replacement.
