🦁 IN: Owen Farrell (Saracens, Fly-Half/Centre, Age 33)
Replaces: Henry Slade
He’s teased it — and based on his Lions form, he’s ready. Farrell may have taken a break from the England fold, but he’s still one of the most tactically astute players in the game. A veteran of 112 caps and a former captain, he offers leadership, grit, and unrivalled control under pressure.
Henry Slade, meanwhile, remains classy but hasn’t nailed down a consistent spot under Borthwick. With the midfield pecking order crowded, he could be the unlucky one if Farrell returns.
