Ex-England captain Farrell called up as Daly ruled out of Lions tour

Former England captain Owen Farrell, 33, has been chosen as a replacement for Elliot Daly on the British and Irish Lions tour to Australia. Daly was ruled out after fracturing his arm in a match against Queensland Reds. Despite not playing international rugby for nearly two years, Farrell's experience and leadership qualities were cited by coach Andy Farrell as reasons for his selection. The controversial call-up comes after Farrell's return to Saracens from Racing 92, following a challenging season in Paris.
