Overview

  • Alex Lozowski is sidelined until Christmas with an Achilles injury, entitling Saracens to an injury dispensation signing.
  • Mark McCall has identified Farrell, who left Saracens for Racing92 in 2024, as a cost-effective option at fly-half.
  • Any return hinges on Racing92 agreeing a transfer fee; the deal also depends on Farrell accepting a salary below his current Top 14 earnings.
  • Farrell’s struggling form and fitness in his debut season in France have fueled reports of his desire to end his contract early.
  • McCall highlighted Farrell’s ability to mentor Saracens’ emerging fly-halves Fergus Burke and Louie Johnson.
