WORLD OF RUGBY: Flying George Ford should be a shoo-in for Lions duty - he is redefining the concept of a bolter and Andy Farrell has a dilemma among his other fly-halves, writes CHRIS FOY
Brian O'Driscoll is on board now and that is highly significant. The word of BOD surely carries a lot of weight, especially in the ears of an Ireland-dominated Lions coaching team. This is about George Ford, who is creating a very public headache for Andy Farrell and his assistants. The veteran playmaker probably wasn't on their radar at all a month ago, but he is making himself impossible to ignore now, ahead of the selection announcement on May 8, for the tour of Australia.

Perak authorities probe Sungai Bidor pollution, pig and duck farms inspected
Published on: Friday, April 25, 2025 Published on: Fri, Apr 25, 2025 By: Bernama Text Size: Perak's veterinary and environment departments have launched a probe into alleged Sungai Bidor pollution, with water samples collected from nearby farms for BOD testing. — AFP pic IPOH: The Perak Department of Veterinary Services (DVS) and the Department of Environment (DOE) have launched a probe into the alleged Sungai Bidor water pollution. State Human Resources, Health, Indian Community Affairs, and Integration Committee Chairman A Sivanesan said that the agencies conducted an on-site check yesterday and collected water samples from strategic locations for laboratory analysis. 'Samples were collected from a pig farm and a duck farm at Batu 2 1/2, Jalan Bruseh, near Bidor. Inspections revealed that the pig farm is in compliance with the required regulations. However, effluent samples were taken from both the discharge end of the farm and the discharge pipe in the river area, and these samples have been sent for testing of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD). 'A probe into the duck farm revealed that it does not use ponds for rearing ducks. Therefore, no pond wastewater is being discharged into the river,' he said in a press conference alongside state Science, Environment, and Green Technology Committee Chairman Teh Kok Lim at Perak Darul Ridzuan Building yesterday. PAS Vice President Datuk Idris Ahmad on Wednesday urged the state government to investigate a pig farm in Kampung Poh, which he claims contributes to pollution in Sungai Bidor. Sivanesan said the analysis results are expected next week, as specified under the Pig Farming Control Enactment 1992. 'Based on sampling records conducted in 2024 and this January, the BOD readings for the farm in question complied with the minimum permitted level. Wastewater discharge should not exceed 50 parts per million. * Follow us on Instagram and join our Telegram and/or WhatsApp channel(s) for the latest news you don't want to miss. * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Brian O'Driscoll tips surprise British and Irish Lions captaincy call as Andy Farrell faces massive decision
RUGBY legend Brian O'Driscoll has revealed who he reckons will captain the British and Irish Lions on their Tour of Australia later this summer. 2 Rugby legend Brian O'Driscoll has revealed who he reckons will be Lions captain for the summer Tour of Australia 2 BOD reckons Andy Farrell will name Caelan Doris or Maro Itoje as skipper - but he's tipped the England skipper to get the nod The announcement is set to come just days after the European Icon O'Driscoll, who featured on four Lions tours and captained the side in New Zealand in 2005 spoke with The Dublin native suggested that read more on rugby BOD said: 'I thought Caelan would be, but there's a good chance it could be Itoje now. "It's unlikely to be [the Wales flanker] Jac Morgan, as you can't guarantee him a starting place because there are a lot of back-rowers. "I think Jac Morgan will go, but Maro — I've been impressed with him. He's quietly gone about his business. He's got the presence and he's going to start, which is important for your Test captain. "Maybe it takes a bit of pressure off other selections for Faz. If he did lean towards the tried and tested with Ireland players, maybe it gives a different complexion with an English captain. Most read in Rugby Union "I think Maro would be a great captain.' O'Driscoll insisted that the decision comes down to the Ireland or England skipper for the role. Ireland rugby legend Conor Murray and wife Joanna Cooper play VR He added: 'I thought he'd go with someone he knew in Doris. He's new to captaincy, and I know Maro is too, but he's got experience and miles on the clock. "It's a close-run thing. It'll certainly be between the two of them. Faz has spoken about five or six guys [on his captaincy shortlist] . . . no. It'll be between two.' Itoje has more Lions experience than his Irish counterpart after being involved in 2017 and 2021 touring squads. While Doris has yet to don the famous jersey.
