Leicester Tigers and England scrum-half Jack van Poortvliet has been called into the British and Irish Lions camp as injury cover.

Van Poortvliet has been called in by Andy Farrell with Ireland scrum-half Jamison Gibson-Park suffering from a 'minor glute strain', with the head coach keen to have a third fully-fit nine - alongside Alex Mitchell and Tomos Williams - for their opening fixture.
