Owen Farrell: I am not retired from the selection of England – all the British and Irish lions The call cat is hypothetical | Rugby Union News

Owen Farrell said Sky Sports It is “not removed” from the selection of England, adding discussions on a potential call from the British and Irish lions remains “hypothetical”.

Farrell, who will leave race 92 a year before the end of his contract in order to return to the Saracens this summer on a two -year contract, joined Sky Sports As an expert for Friday lions, clash against Argentina in Dublin to launch the tour in 2025 in Australia.

The 33-year-old man will now become immediately eligible to play again for England by Steve Barthwick because of his return to the Premiership, although he has moved away from international rugby after the Rugby World Cup in 2023 quoting the need to focus on his mental well-being and his family, he remains to be seen if he will return to test rugby.

Be that as it may, Farrell indicates that his previous decision to move away from the test game and the duty of England does not consider him as retired.

“Who knows? (If I will come back for England). The only point for me now at the minute is to come back here (Saracens) and love what I do,” said Farrell Sky Sports.

“I really think I can do it while withdrawing more and it puts me in a very good place to have a good impact here, then who knows after that. This is the starting point for me.

“I am not retired. But the only thing I look at now is to start feeling good again.

“I never want that (struggling with criticism) is what people think it’s playing for England. This is not the case. I loved my career in England.

“I loved my time in the camp. Some of the most special games I have played were obviously with England.

“It was exactly what I was going through at that time and the accumulation of things. I just wanted to make sure I was doing the right thing.

“This time, managing us with myself and having time to think about myself made me clearer on what I want, what I want to be, how I want to be, and I work on this.”

Although Farrell did not originally presented in the conversation of Lions 2025, the lack of clarity which followed between the unions on which is their first flight – apart from Scotland, the first choice of which is clearly Finn Russell – opened the door to an experienced option such as Farrell to do tours.

In the end, Andy Farrell resisted the temptation to include his son, but one of the big points to remember from the announcement of the team was the comments of Farrell Senior in relation to Junior.

“He was obviously in the conversation, an experienced player like that, going for his fourth tour,” Farrell told journalists. “There are 38 picked, which leaves some locations open for us on the track if and if necessary. Owen, like a few other guys, would be in this slice.”

So, do such comments give Owen Farrell the hope of going to Australia?

“With everything, what I say is that my goal is to do well and put myself in a good place and everything else is hypothetical per minute,” he said. “We will see what’s going on.

“I hope I matured a little and I grew up, so I can’t wait to know what will happen.

“I have great people around me. I have incredibly lucky, whether family or others who have had a big impact on what I do.

“Certainly (Papa Andy Farrell is his main resonance box). Especially when you do not feel as well, you probably pick up the phone much more.

“My family, my mother and my father would both be.”

And what are its beginnings in the world of Punditry with Sky Sports In the Irish capital this Friday? Farrell admits that he feels nerves before changing the sides.

“I’m a little nervous, to be honest. I thought, why not? I would throw myself into it.

“I thought I would see if I appreciate it, see if I’m good. So I guess we will see on all things! I can’t wait to be there.

“I think this game is great for making a first attempt.
