Former England captain Owen Farrell makes his comeback after groin surgery, bolstering Racing 92's hopes against the Stormers in the Champions Cup.
Owen Farrell , the former England captain, is set to make his return from injury this weekend when his team, Racing 92 , faces the Stormers in Paris. Farrell, who has 112 caps for England and last played for them in the Rugby World Cup third-place playoff, underwent groin surgery in mid-November and missed eight games in the Top 14.
Racing 92, currently at the bottom of their Champions Cup Pool 4 with four points after two losses in three games, desperately needs a win against the Cape Town-based Stormers on Saturday. Their hopes of reaching the quarter-finals also depend on the outcomes of the other pool matches. Farrell's return is a significant boost for Racing 92, who also welcome back halfback partner Nolann Le Garrec, Wales lock Will Rowlands, flanker Cameron Woki, and prop Hassane Kolingar. The team's coach, Andy Farrell, expressed confidence in Farrell's readiness to start the game, stating that he trained well and is feeling confident. The match against the Stormers presents a crucial opportunity for Racing 92 to turn their season around and secure a spot in the knockout stages of the Champions Cup
