    Farrell is relishing the opportunity to play for the Lions amid his appointment as their captain.

    “I’m determined to enjoy what I’m doing,” he said.

    “I’m determined to love every minute of however long I’ve got left in the game that I love.”

    Farrell added: “My focus is on what’s in front of me, which is here.

    “And then when I get back to Saracens, making sure I’m myself. If I do that, I’ll enjoy it and then we’ll see.

    “I have some perspective. There’s obviously a lot of external factors that can creep in, but ultimately it’s up to me, who I am. Making sure I’m looking after myself.

    “Making sure I’m giving myself a break at times. I’m not someone who needs revving up too much. It’s normally the other way. Making sure that I look after myself will lead to me being more of myself.”
