Tommy Freeman: I’d need an astronomical sum to join breakaway R360

2 days ago | thetimes.com | will Kelleher |Alex Lowe

Players who join rugby’s proposed global grand prix-style competition will not be considered for England selection as the RFU is likely to stand firm over its commitment to the Premiership. The Times revealed this week that team owners from the Premier League, Formula 1 and the NFL have submitted bids to buy franchises in R360, which is backed by the 2003 World Cup winner Mike Tindall and due to be launched next year.

Henry Pollock was picked for the British & Irish Lions after only 32 minutes of Test rugby by Andy Farrell, who has also left the door open for his son, Owen, to join the squad. Farrell, the Lions head coach, revealed a 38-man squad on Thursday for the tour to Australia in front of 2,000 fans at the O2 arena in London, with England’s Maro Itoje confirmed as his captain.

Four years ago, in the hazy post-lockdown days, I pulled together a graphic that showed how the Lions touring XVs had changed over the years. One thing that stood out was the longevity of various locks in the position.
Maro Itoje to be named Lions captain for tour to Australia

Maro Itoje is set to be unveiled as the British & Irish Lions captain on Thursday, the first Englishman to be chosen for the role since Martin Johnson. Itoje, 30, the Saracens and England skipper, emerged as the prime candidate after injury struck Caelan Doris, the Ireland No8. Doris had surgery this week on his shoulder, which he hurt during Leinster’s 37-34 defeat by Northampton Saints on Saturday, leaving Itoje as the top captaincy choice for Lions head coach Andy Farrell.

🦁 I’ve followed Maro Itoje’s whole career - and was there the night he became a cult hero then brushed us away in Wellington, 2017 - so it’s fantastic to have seen his growth. Yesterday he had time for everyone, no matter what. Brash no more. @TimesSport https://t.co/lasCBhqOta
