Owen Farrell summoned by Lions after Elliot Daly ruled out of tour by broken arm
Daly broke his left forearm on Wednesday in the 52-12 win over the Queensland Reds in Brisbane.
'It is heartbreaking for the group that Elliot's tour is over,' Lions coach Andy Farrell said in a statement. 'He is a Lions legend who has added so much to the group on and off the field over the past few weeks and over the course of three tours.
'Owen will now come in and add to our options and bring his own Lions experience to the group.'
Owen Farrell will join his fourth tour, having played 18 times for the Lions, including six tests across 2013, 2017 and 2021.
However, he hasn't played an international since leading England at the 2023 Rugby World Cup, after which he took a break from test rugby. He earned 112 England caps and is the team's all-time points record-holder.
Owen Farrell also hasn't played any rugby in two months. He was concussed on May 4 while playing for Racing 92 in his last game for the French Top 14 side. He recently signed a new deal to return to his old English club Saracens.

Lions' props roam the team hotel like ‘migrating bison'
Pierre Schoeman has revealed the British and Irish Lions' props are gelling so well that they have taken to roaming their team hotels together like 'migrating bison'. The Lions have taken six of the front rows to Australia and while they are competing hard for the four available places in the Test series that begins in Brisbane on July 19, they have still formed a tight bond off the field. Advertisement 'We actually have a prop group that none of our other team members are allowed on. They don't know about it, but our secret is out now,' Schoeman said. 'We are like bison, migrating together. We have a secret meeting every night. Finlay Bealham started it and now all the props have bought in. 'We stick together and have a tea after every training session and we get to meet each other's families and ask deep questions. But it's just for props in whatever hotel we live in.' Within the prop contingent those that fill the number one jersey have gravitated towards each other, with Schoeman striking up a close relationship with fellow 'gladiators' Ellis Genge and Andrew Porter. Advertisement 'Looseheads all around the world are very similar. They are quite weird and unique people. Something isn't right,' the South African-born Scotland prop said. 'We always say that playing rugby you must have a screw loose, but playing rugby as a loosehead prop…We like going to dark places – physically, mentally, spiritually. 'We're different but similar. We are almost like a gladiator when all the gladiators come together. (Scrum coach) John Fogarty has the key for the cage to unlock the gladiators. 'We all associate with being loosehead props in the professional era with different backgrounds. 'It's just nice knowing each other and we are learning from each other as well. You have to get along. You have to make it work. At this moment it is like a small mini unit and the engine has to go. Advertisement 'It is the healthiest competition I've seen in my career. You learn from each other and you really use your super strengths. If someone else is better, you learn from them. 'You can clearly see we are all driving towards the same collective. Whatever your job is on the sailing yard, you have to do that otherwise you won't get to the destination.' Schoeman starts Saturday's clash with New South Wales Waratahs in Sydney as the Lions continue a hectic schedule of four matches in 11 days leading into the first Test against the Wallabies. 'You have to be resilient, but as a Lion you put a smile on your face and there are no excuses. You have to deliver. Fans, travel, media, friends…anything goes,' he said.

Matt Sherratt ‘doubles down on the basics' in bid to end Wales' losing streak
Interim head coach Matt Sherratt says he has 'doubled down on the basics' to give Wales the best chance of ending their record losing streak. Wales are in Japan for a two-Test series against Eddie Jones' Brave Blossoms and attempting to end a run of 17 successive Test defeats – a record for a Tier One nation. Advertisement Cardiff boss Sherratt has overseen the last three of those losses after replacing Warren Gatland during the Six Nations Championship in February. Sherratt initiated improvement in losing narrowly to Ireland in his opening game, but Wales were well beaten in Scotland before producing a late fightback and then hammered 68-14 at home by England on one of Welsh rugby's darkest days. 'I learned a lot during the Six Nations,' Sherratt said ahead of Saturday's opener in Kitakyushu with Wales targeting a first Test win since beating Georgia at the last World Cup in October 2023. 'What we've really focused on for this tour is going back to basics. Advertisement 'Over time the way I like to play is multiple passes and for my teams to be brave, but at the moment it's laying the foundations for Welsh rugby. 'So we've really doubled down on the basics and gone back to the foundations of the game – kicking, defence, contact area. 'We can build on that in time, but those basics are the platform for everything else and the foundation for any team.' Skipper Jac Morgan and Tomos Williams were unavailable after being selected for the British and Irish Lions tour of Australia. There are only four survivors from the side humbled by England in March – number eight Taulupe Faletau, prop Nicky Smith, centre Ben Thomas and full-back Blair Murray. Back-rower Taulupe Faletau wins cap number 109 against Japan and is by far Wales' most experienced player (David Davies/PA) Faletau makes his 109th appearance and winger Josh Adams (61), Smith (54) and scrum-half Kieran Hardy (23) are the only others with more than 20 caps in the starting line-up. Advertisement Asked what winning would mean for Wales, Sherratt said: 'It's massive. I spoke to the players before we came away and wondered what their motivation was, and why they were coming here. 'The short answer was that they want to win for Wales. 'For the future this tour is probably the end of something. Let's hope it's the also start of something and they start on a level playing field (under the new head coach).' Japan head coach Eddie Jones refused to budge from an afternoon kick-off in Kitakyushu in the hottest part of the day (David Davies/PA) Jones has been his usual bullish self ahead of the series, which concludes in Kobe next week, saying he is hoping for a 'nice hot day and we can really run Wales off their feet'. The former Australia and England boss refused to budge from the 2pm local kick-off time when the temperature is expected to be above 30 degrees Celsius with high humidity. Advertisement Sherratt said: 'Both countries are in a very similar situation as lots of experience has come to an end at the same time. 'The key to the win will be who controls the key moments. 'With the wet ball (due to the humidity) field position will be very important and, with that, who takes the chances.'

Beirne backs Farrell to boost Lions after controversial call-up
New South Wales Waratahs v British and Irish Lions Venue: Sydney Football Stadium, Sydney Date: Saturday, 5 July Kick-off: 11:00 BST Coverage: Live text commentary on the BBC Sport website and app Owen Farrell's arrival on tour will lift the whole British and Irish Lions squad, says flanker Tadhg Beirne. Farrell, 33, has been called up to replace the injured Elliot Daly, but lacks form and match fitness after an injury-interrupted season at French side Racing 92. Advertisement The decision by head coach Andy Farrell, Owen's father, to overlook the likes of Scotland's Tom Jordan and Darcy Graham, has attracted criticism. But Beirne, who will captain the Lions in their match against the New South Wales Waratahs on Saturday, says Farrell's leadership and experience of three previous tours will strengthen the tourists ahead of the Test series against Australia. "He's only going to bring some serious quality to the squad, so we're looking forward to inviting him in here and getting to hang out with him," said Beirne. "Any type of leadership is only going to enhance the squad. Playing with him four years ago, I've seen all the leadership qualities that he brings, the quality of his talent as well. It's going to do nothing but boost the squad, for sure." Advertisement Daly, along with captain Maro Itoje and prop Tadhg Furlong, was one of three players in the initial squad to have played on two previous tours. He is the second player to leave the tour injured after Wales scrum-half Tomos Williams pulled a hamstring while diving in to score a try in the win over Queensland Reds. Beirne said that England back Daly had signed off in style. "Gutted to see him go," said Beirne. "We knew because he came in on Wednesday evening and showed everyone the x-ray and we knew his tour was over at that point. "He's been such an invaluable player for the Lions. Elliot actually got to announce the team which was a very cool moment. Something that probably hadn't been done before. Advertisement "He did it in typical Elliot fashion. He brought a bit of craic to it as well. It was a nice way to see him off." Scotland centre Huw Jones is the only player in the line-up to face the Waratahs to have also started the win over the Reds three days before. "That is the ultimate goal for everyone here – to play in those Tests and the only way to do that is to play well in all these games leading up to it," added Beirne. "If you are not producing in these games you are not giving yourself a fighting chance. Everyone has to put their best foot forward." The Lions will have only two more tour games – against the Brumbies and an invitational Australian and New Zealand XV on 9 and 12 July respectively – before their first Test against the Wallabies on 19 July.
