The Owen Farrell controversy could be exactly what this tour was crying out for

From a tactical viewpoint, you'll be hard-pressed to find anyone who considers Owen Farrell a better replacement for the injured Elliot Daly than, say, Blair Murray or Tom Jordan (the latter of whom is already on tour in New Zealand). From a neutral perspective, it's pure gold. Can the Waratahs turn the media circus to their advantage?
You can watch Waratahs vs Lions live streams from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for FREE.
Waratahs vs Lions live stream, date, time and channels
The Waratahs vs Lions live stream takes place on Saturday, July 5.
• Time: 6 a.m. ET / 3 a.m. PT / 11 a.m. BST / 8 p.m. AEST
• FREE STREAM — RugbyPass TV (U.S.)
• STREAM — Sky Sports (U.K.)
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk free
It's not just that Farrell is the son of Lions coach Andy Farrell. The former England captain's last taste of competitive rugby came two months ago, and he only lasted 18 minutes. He hasn't played international rugby in nearly two years, and even then, his boot-heavy approach is at complete odds with the expansive style that his father is trying to implement.
The opening game defeat to Argentina aside, it's been plain-sailing for the Lions, who've hammered Western Force and the Queensland Reds by a combined score of 106-19, scoring 16 tries in the process. Farrell Sr. has made 14 changes to the lineup that will take to the field at Sydney Football Stadium on Saturday, with Huw Jones the only man to retain his place. It's a big risk.
Northampton duo Fin Smith and Alex Mitchell take over from Finn Russell and Jamison Gibson-Park, Tadhg Beirne takes the armband and, fresh from winning the Top 14, Blair Kinghorn makes his Lions debut at left wing. Triston Reilly and Langi Gleeson carry the threat for the New South Wales outfit.
Here's how to watch Waratahs vs Lions live streams from anywhere in the world, and potentially for free.
