Former England captain Owen Farrell seals Saracens return
But fly-half Farrell has agreed to leave Racing 92 and return to Saracens after a disappointing, injury-disrupted campaign with the Top 14 outfit.
He told the club's official website: 'Saracens is my home and the opportunity to come back is one that excites me enormously.
'Having watched from afar this season, it is clear to see that the club has incredible potential, and I can't wait to get back in the mix for the 25/26 season.'
The 33-year-old ex-club captain has signed a two-year deal at the StoneX Stadium to rejoin a club with whom he won three European Cups and six Premiership crowns.
Farrell made his Saracens debut in 2008, 11 days after his 17th birthday, and amassed 256 appearances before heading for France.

He has won 112 England caps and made six Test appearances for the British and Irish Lions, although he has not been included in the squad – coached by his father Andy – for this summer's tour of Australia.
Farrell has not played Test rugby since the 2023 World Cup, initially taking a break to prioritise his mental wellbeing, before his move abroad made him ineligible for selection.
Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall is hoping the vastly-experienced stand-off will play a role in what he believes will be an exciting future for the club.
McCall said: 'Owen has Saracens in his DNA. His competitive spirit is woven into the fabric of this club and we are delighted he has chosen to come home.
'He returns to a young group full of potential, players eager to learn, play and push for success. We know he will love being part of where this group, and this club, are headed.'

Lando Norris to have showdown McLaren meeting after Oscar Piastri crash
Lando Norris collided with team-mate Oscar Piastri as they fought for fourth place in the closing laps of Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix and the Brit has accepted full responsibility for a coming together Lando Norris has been warned to expect 'tough conversations' by McLaren – after team principal Andrea Stella conceded the British driver's confidence will have been dented by his crash with Oscar Piastri. Norris collided with team-mate Piastri as they fought for fourth place in the closing laps of Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix. Norris accepted full responsibility for a coming together he said made him look foolish and leaves him 22 points behind Piastri in the battle for the drivers' title. Norris retired from the race while Piastri was able to take the chequered flag. 'This may have an impact in terms of his confidence,' said Stella. 'We will have conversations, and the conversations may even be tough, but there's no doubt over the support we give to Lando and over the fact that we will preserve our parity and equality in terms of how we go racing at McLaren between our two drivers. 'The situation would have been different if Lando did not take responsibility and apologise. Lando will have to show his character to overcome this kind of episode and make sure that he only takes the learnings to become a stronger driver.' Norris was already on the backfoot heading into Sunday's race following two mistakes in qualifying which left him seventh on the grid. He drove well to bring himself back into contention only to misjudge the move on Piastri which again raises questions over his credentials as a legitimate championship contender. Nico Rosberg, who competed against Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes for three seasons – eventually beating the British driver to the world title in what would prove his final act in the sport in 2016 – believes Norris is facing a dark period. Reflecting on his own mental battles as he duelled for the title, Rosberg told Sky Sports: 'It becomes a little bit traumatic because you start spiralling negatively down and down, and you get this repetition of, 'I'm making mistakes, and I'm not good enough,' and it starts to get to you in your head. 'It can get really dark, and I've been through this, especially when you make a mistake like today where everybody can see it, you even hit your team-mate, so your whole team is thinking, 'What's going on?' It will be difficult for Lando to get back out of that.' Norris will be back in action a week on Sunday in Austria for the 11th round of 24. But despite his latest setback, he said: 'There are plenty more races left. I don't expect to catch Oscar easily. I have to work hard for it and make less mistakes than I did this weekend.'

Gareth Bale part of group seeking Plymouth takeover
The Telegraph were first to report that the 35-year-old former Real Madrid and Wales forward was part of the group seeking to buy Argyle. The PA news agency understands the group featuring Bale has registered an interest in buying Argyle, but the process is at a very early stage. Should the deal go through, Bale would be the latest big sporting name to be associated with an EFL club. Bale's former Real team-mate Luka Modric became an investor and co-owner in Championship side Swansea in April, while ex-NFL quarterback Tom Brady has a minority stake in Birmingham. Plymouth declined to comment. Bale retired from football in January 2023 at the age of 33. He won five Champions League titles with Real and is the men's all-time record goalscorer for Wales with 41 in 111 caps. Bale featured for Wales at the 2022 World Cup – their first appearance at the global finals since 1958 – and at the Euros in 2016 and 2020.

Fresh from helping Bath win the Gallagher Premiership final at Twickenham on Saturday, Finn Russell has linked up with the British & Lions squad in Dublin. The Scotland stand-off was outstanding in the 23-21 victory over Leicester Tigers and the celebrations continued into Sunday as thousands lined the streets of Bath to acclaim the treble-winning squad during an open-top bus parade. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad But it was back to work on Monday for Russell, club-mate Will Stuart and Leicester's Ollie Chessum as they joined up with Andy Farrell's Lions who have spent the past week at a training camp in Portugal.

Also teaming up with the Lions group in Dublin were the 12 Leinster players who helped the Irish side defeat the Bulls in the United Rugby Championship final on Saturday. It means Scotland full-back Blair Kinghorn is the only player who has yet to join Farrell's squad. The Toulouse player remains in France where his team are involved in the Top 14 play-offs. They face Bayonne in the semi-final in Lyon on Friday. If Toulouse win, they will head to Paris for the final the following Saturday against either Bordeaux-Begles or Toulon. The final falls on the same day as the Lions' first match in Australia, against Western Force in Perth, so Kinghorn could miss that game too. Russell, meanwhile, will have the opportunity to work this week with Johnny Sexton, the former Ireland 10 who is part of Farrell's coaching team. Sexton's remit is kicking and working with the fly-halves and while he has been less than complimentary in the past about Russell, the Scot has played down any lingering animosity.

Russell is vying with Harlequins' Marcus Smith and Northampton's Fin Smith to be the starting 10. Sexton spoke to the media on Monday and said he had been getting to know the England pair in Portugal. 'My role is a little bit of everything really, it depends on what person you're working with and what form they're in,' said the Ireland great. 'The first week has just been getting to know Marcus and Fin Smith. I've played against Marcus a couple of times, I don't think I've played against Fin Smith.

I've got to know that over the first week and I'm looking forward to working with them.

Do they want technical information? All those things. I'm getting to know them and try work it out that way. 'Obviously we have the Leinster and Bath boys joining today which will be good because they'll be in good form with their wins.'
