Farrell Called up to Lions After Injury to Daly

AUSTRALIA, JUL 3 – Owen Farrell joins British and Irish Lions as injury replacement for Elliot Daly, adding leadership and experience despite limited recent international play, head coach Andy Farrell said.

  • Owen Farrell will travel to Australia on Friday, July 4, 2025, to become part of the British and Irish Lions squad as a late addition following Elliot Daly’s injury.
  • The call-up follows Daly's fractured forearm sustained in the Lions' 52-12 win over Queensland Reds on Wednesday, which ended his tour.
  • Farrell, 33, has 112 England caps, captained from 2018 to 2023, and has toured with the Lions three times, bringing leadership despite not being a direct Daly replacement.
  • Andy Farrell described Daly as a celebrated Lion who has contributed greatly to the team both on the pitch and behind the scenes, and encouraged the squad to focus on the challenges ahead.
  • Farrell's late arrival means he will not play the Saturday Waratahs match, but his addition strengthens the Lions as they prepare for the July 19 Wallabies series.
