Lions: Injured Greening out of Lions squad

The Scottish hooker, Gordon Bulloch has been called up to the Lions squad after England’s Phil Greening was forced to cry off the tour.

Greening sustained a knee injury during training with the Lions and must now return home to England without having played a game for the combined British and Irish team.

The Lions won their first game of the tour earlier today against the semi-professional, Western Australia side.

Four Irish players featured in the starting line-up for the 116-10 win, with Keith Wood captaining the side.

Ronan O’Gara scored 26 points at out-half. Brian O’Driscoll and Malcom O’Kelly also performed well.

It was a record win for the Lions side and it will help build confidence ahead of the rest of the tour.
