Owen Farrell is considering making himself available for England again despite the social media “poison” that contributed to him stepping back from Test rugby last year.

Farrell, who has been picked as captain of the British & Irish Lions in their final midweek tour game, now says he would love to emulate Johnny Sexton and keep playing at the highest level for as long as possible.
