Garry Ringrose has been lauded for self-reporting concussion symptoms that forced the British & Irish Lions head coach Andy Farrell into a last-minute reshuffle for Saturday’s Test against the Wallabies.

Ringrose was slated to start the second Test at the MCG along with nine other Ireland players but approached Farrell after Thursday’s training session, moments before he was due to announce his team.

• Zoe Aldcroft leads John Mitchell’s 32-player squad

• Scarratt will equal Kiwi Anna Richards’ World Cup tally

Emily Scarratt is to become the first English player to compete at five Rugby World Cups after being named in John Mitchell’s 32-player squad for the upcoming home tournament which begins on 22 August.

Scarratt made her World Cup debut in 2010 and won the tournament in 2014 with the Red Roses before featuring for the losing finalists in the 2017 and 2021 squads.

The 35-year-old is one of 14 backs and 18 forwards named in Mitchell’s team which will be captained by Zoe Aldcroft. The Gloucester-Hartpury player recently led the Red Roses to their sixth Women’s Six Nations title in a row after being named as skipper in January.

Mitchell has not sprung any surprises with his squad and has mixed experience with new talent.

There will be eight World Cup debutants, including Emma Sing who started England’s grand slam winning game against France in April for the injured Ellie Kildunne.

Kildunne, who is the current World Rugby player of the year, is also included, as is former captain Marlie Packer and No 8 Alex Matthews, who will both be taking part in their fourth World Cup.

England will open the World Cup against the USA in Sunderland.

“It is a rare and awesome opportunity for this group to represent the Red Roses at a home World Cup,” Mitchell said.

“The selection process is never easy. It’s been a thorough two-year process to select the right blend of positional cover, skill, mindset and connection – we believe this is a squad that can win the World Cup.”

Aldcroft added: “To lead the team into a home Rugby World Cup is an incredible feeling. This group have a fantastic opportunity to inspire young boys and girls all over the country - it’s something we have spoken about as a collective and we’re relishing the chance to do so.

“Pulling on the white shirt is always a massive privilege and we can’t wait to do that, backed by our amazing home support.”

An Aldi store in Greater Manchester rebranded Aldeh in honour of Oasis is to keep the new name, the supermarket chain has said.

The new sign was erected at the Prestwich store ahead of the Oasis homecoming gigs earlier this month. The band played five sold-out shows at Heaton Park, which is near the store.
