Jamie George has been drafted into the British & Irish Lions squad as cover for the injured Luke Cowan-Dickie.
Hooker Cowan-Dickie appeared to be knocked out in Saturday’s 48-0 win against an AUNZ Invitational XV at Adelaide Oval and left the field in the medical cart with his head in a supportive brace.
He faces a spell on the sidelines and Saracens front row George, appointed co-captain for England’s on-going summer tour to Argentina and the United States, will fly to Australia for his third Lions tour having featured in New Zealand in 2017 and South Africa in 2021.
