Lions face new injury blow with Mack Hansen expected to miss first Australia Test

about 17 hours ago

The Ireland wing Mack Hansen is expected to miss out on a place in the British & Irish Lions’ team for the first Test against the Wallabies on Saturday with a foot injury.Hansen’s setback comes with the fullback Blair Kinghorn also poised to miss out after both skipped training on Tuesday.The Lions have not yet officially ruled Hansen or Kinghorn out of contention to face Australia in Brisbane, but coach Andy Farrell has already privately picked his side for Saturday and given neither player was able to train on Tuesday, it seems unlikely that either will feature.Losing Hansen is a blow to Farrell, who reserved special praise for the Ireland winger after his performance against Western Force earlier in the tour.Canberra-born Hansen had been pushing Tommy Freeman hard for a place on the right wing before an injury sustained in last Saturday’s thumping 48-0 victory over the AUNZ Invitational XV in Adelaide.

On Monday, the forwards coach, John Dalziel, denied that Hansen was carrying an injury despite the decision to expedite Darcy Graham’s arrival into the squad ahead of his Scotland colleagues Ewan Ashman and Rory Sutherland.The Lions have since confirmed, however, that Hansen sustained the injury last Saturday.“He hurt his foot in the game.I don’t think it is anything serious, but he was managed today,” said the Lions assistant coach, Richard Wigglesworth.“Hopefully, he will be fully integrated pretty quickly.

It is nothing that we are overly concerned about, but we need to make sure we have enough numbers at training.But it doesn’t look too serious.A doubt is anyone who didn’t train fully today, but he’s definitely not ruled out.“We know we have got such quality across all positions, so we would be lying if we said [team selection] was easy.In terms of how quick it was, there have been two or three conversations, we have picked, and we will tell the lads tomorrow.

Nothing has been announced, so that’s always subject to change in terms of how they’ve trained and what that’s looked like.That’s why these things are kept back a bit.”With Kinghorn also sitting out training and Elliot Daly already sent home with a broken arm, Hugo Keenan is expected to start at fullback, while Marcus Smith could profit with a place among the replacements on Saturday as someone who offers cover at fullback.Against the AUNZ Invitational XV, Smith was on the bench covering fly-half and fullback alongside Owen Farrell, who impressed in a 30-minute cameo at inside-centre.Sign up to The BreakdownThe latest rugby union news and analysis, plus all the week's action reviewedafter newsletter promotionWigglesworth, who played alongside Farrell at Saracens for a decade, added: “I’ve enjoyed [working with him again].

He’s done exactly what we knew he was going to do in terms of help and influence, and obviously contribute on the field when that time came up,It’s been great to work with him again, but I was probably more excited for all those who hadn’t worked with him to be able to experience that,He’s been great, as we knew he would be,Not everyone did, but we knew,“It’s been on record hundreds of times about Owen.

You all know how good he is, the influence he has, his knowledge and how he helps other people get better.We all knew how good he was going to be, and it’s been that way.He’s the influential Owen that we know and love.”

US inflation rose in June as Trump’s tariffs start to show in prices

Inflation accelerated in June as the impacts of Donald Trump’s tariffs slowly started to show in US prices.Business leaders have said for months that the high, volatile rates of Trump’s tariffs will force companies to raise consumer prices. Prices remained stable in the spring, particularly as many of Trump’s highest tariffs were paused; however, they started increasing in May and have continued to rise in June.Annual inflation rose to 2.7% in June, up from 2

Reeves unveils City strategy aimed at cutting red tape and fuelling UK growth

Rachel Reeves has unveiled a package of City changes meant to cut “unnecessary” red tape and encourage more financial risk-taking by companies and consumers in the hopes of spurring economic growth.In a financial services strategy dubbed the Leeds Reforms, the chancellor outlined initiatives designed to boost the financial services sector, including plans to cut “unnecessary costs” related to accountability rules for senior bankers, and to launch an advertising campaign to get consumers investing cash savings in stocks.The UK government will review ringfencing rules – introduced after the 2008 financial crisis – that are meant to protect consumer cash from a bank’s riskier business activities.The independence of the Financial Ombudsman Service, which settles complaints between consumers and businesses, will also be watered down, while the rate of interest – and total compensation – that banks and other City firms have to pay to wronged consumers will be reduced.There will also be a review of risk warnings attached to investment products to ensure that people are “accurately” judging risk levels

Thousands of vehicles sit idle at EU port as Trump’s tariffs leave their mark

The Port of Antwerp-Bruges has been turned into a giant car park with thousands of cars, vans, trucks and tractors bound for the US sitting idle as manufacturers try to avert the worst of Donald Trump’s tariffs.Figures released by the port show a 15.9% drop in the transport of new passenger cars and vans to the US in the first six months of 2025 compared with the same period last year, with a sharp decline emerging in May – one month after the US president announced his “liberation day” tariffs.Exports of trucks and what they call “high and heavy equipment” is down by almost a third at 31.5%

Fear of being ordered back to office affecting UK staff wellbeing, poll finds

A fear of being ordered back to the office is having an impact on workers’ wellbeing, according to a poll, after a string of companies issued return-to-office mandates.More than a third (38%) of workers surveyed said recent news stories about companies hardening their stance on office attendance had negatively affected their wellbeing, highlighting the tug-of-war between employers and their employees.More than four in five (84%) employees who work in a hybrid way – splitting their time between the office and a remote location, such as home – said it had a positive effect on their overall wellbeing, including their mental, physical, social and financial wellbeing.More women (87%) than men (80%) said they believed hybrid working had improved their wellbeing in the survey of 3,600 UK employers and employees across a range of industries in the public and private sectors between late April and early May by the recruitment company Hays.The main worry about returning to the office more frequently was cost, potentially additional commuting expenses, as almost six in 10 (59%) of those polled said worries about their finances would affect their willingness to spend more time in the office
