Brett Cockbain and Jason White are the latest additions to the Lions squad in New Zealand.
|
The Ospreys Australian born second row will replace suspended Danny Grewcock, and will move straight into the match 22 for Tuesday’s game with Manawatu.
Scotland forward White, who plays for Sale in the Guinness Premiership, has been called up to replace injured flanker Richard Hill.
White, who can play in both the second and back rows, said: “Obviously I’m absolutely delighted to be going out to join the tour. Time’s quite tight to be getting involved with the games but I’ll be giving it 100% and do whatever I can to help achieve success and contribute to the matches. Having the familiar faces of Chris [Cusiter], Gordy [Bulloch], Gavin Scott and the medics [Dr James Robson, Stuart Barton and Bob Stewart] should help me settle in and I’m really looking forward to it.”
Cockbain was already in Australia and has joined his new team mates while White is due to arrive in New Zealand on Wednesday.
