Four Wales players welcomed into Lions squad as team say farewell to injured Ross Moriarty

Head coach Warren Gatland welcomed four Wales players into the British & Irish Lions squad on Saturday as preparations ramped up for next week's first Test against world champions New Zealand but then said goodbye to another, writes Simon Lewis, Rotorua.

Lock Cory Hill, hooker Kristian Dacey, scrum-half Gareth Davies and prop Tomas Francis joined the tourists in Rotorua on Saturday following Wales's Test win over Tonga in Auckland on Friday and were set to watch the game against the Maori All Blacks, just as the Lions announced that back-rower Ross Moriarty was ruled out from the tour after failing to overcome a nerve injury in his back.
