Dan Biggar has questioned the logic behind Owen Farrell ’s surprise call-up to the British and Irish Lions squad, with the former Wales fly half claiming the decision “doesn’t really make sense”. Farrell has been summoned to join the touring party in Australia after Saracens teammate Elliot Daly fractured his forearm against the Queensland Reds.

Owen Farrell's inclusion in the Lions has sparked huge debate since it was announced that he would replace the injured Elliot Daly.

British & Irish Lions players welcomed the imminent arrival of Owen Farrell on Friday as they prepared for their third tour game against the New South Wales Waratahs at Sydney Football Stadium this weekend.
