Ireland's Jamie Osborne has been called up by the British & Irish Lions as cover for the injured Blair Kinghorn, the tourists announced in Thursday.

Full-back Kinghorn hurt his left knee after just seven minutes of the Lions' 36-24 win over the Brumbies in Canberra on Wednesday and went for a scan on the squad's arrival in Adelaide ahead of their next tour game on Saturday.
