• Farrell to captain Lions in final midweek tour match

• ‘I’ve come back to make the most of what I am doing’

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.

Farrell, who will turn 34 in September, has not played for England since the 2023 World Cup but has loved his involvement on the current Lions tour of Australia and sounds more open to the idea, if selected, of rejoining the England fold than at any stage since announcing his intention to take a break from international rugby “to prioritise his and his family’s mental wellbeing.”

Glass bottles had highest levels of the substance compared with beer, water, wine and soft drinks, researchers found

Metal bottle caps can be a significant source of microplastic contamination in beverages, a new peer-reviewed study by France’s food safety agency finds.

Researchers compared microplastic levels in beer, water, wine and soft drinks, and found the substance in all samples, but liquid in glass jars showed the highest levels. The surprising source of the contamination – a polyester-based paint on the glass bottles’ metal caps.

Bird strikes cause fatal crashes and cost airlines money. Experts have tactics for chasing away these errant fowl

My tone wavered between enthusiasm and concern. “Is that a great black-backed gull,” I asked.

It was a cold December morning, and I was cruising along the interior roads of Boston’s Logan international airport in a white pickup truck. At the wheel was Jeff Turner, who, among other duties, oversees efforts to control wildlife at the airport, including making sure that errant gulls and other birds don’t stray into flight paths and cause an accident. He glanced toward the harbor and confirmed that a lone great black-backed was indeed mixed in with a few herring gulls.
