Hayes called up to Lions

Ireland tight-head John Hayes has been called up to the British & Irish Lions squad in the aftermatch of Euan Murray's injury.

Coach Ian McGeechan said: "John Hayes has been called up to replace Euan Murray who sustained an ankle injury in the match against the Southern Kings in Port Elizabeth. The medical team have now fully assessed his injury and have determined that the injury is serious enough to mean he will play no further part on the tour."
