Easterby call 'surprised' Johnson

Former Lions captain Martin Johnson admits he was “slightly surprised” after Simon Easterby was called up to replace injured Lawrence Dallaglio for the rest of the tour to New Zealand.

Dallaglio suffered a dislocated fracture of his right ankle during the victory over Bay of Plenty on Saturday and was immediately replaced by Easterby, although Johnson believes Wasps flanker Joe Worsley also had a good chance of a call-up.
