Owen Farrell enters the British & Irish Lions camp as they prepare to face the Waratahs in Sydney this weekend.
The former England captain – and son of Lions coach Andy Farrell – was omitted from the initial tour squad but has been called up to replace the injured Elliot Daly.
However, Fin Smith has been given the fly-half role for the clash with the Waratahs, while Farrell is not in contention to play this weekend as he finds his feet.
Tadhg Beirne has been selected as captain with Itoje rested for this encounter. The first Test match against Australia takes place on 19th July, and players will be competing to prove their worth ahead of the big kick-off.
