'No conversation needed' for Farrell about Lions tour selection
Former England captain Owen Farrell said on Thursday he has not held talks with his dad and head coach Andy Farrell about playing for the British and Irish Lions this year.
Farrell no longer features for his country as he is with French club Racing 92 but remains eligible for the invitational side and their tour of Australia, which starts on June 20.
The 33-year-old cast doubt on talks of a Lions selection after touring in 2013, 2017 and 2021, having only returned with Racing last week following more than two months out with a groin injury.
"There doesn't need to be a conversation," fly-half Farrell told reporters.
"I want to get to playing rugby here, which I feel like I've not done too much of yet.
"And the only thing to concentrate on is getting back to feeling good and helping this team," the 118-time international added.
The Lions tour runs between June 20-August 2 with the Top 14 final set for June 28.
Farrell's Racing sit in ninth place in the Top 14 table, 10 points off the play-off spots, before hosting Castres on Saturday in the 15th round of the season.
