Lions call up Gregor Brown as foot problem hits Joe McCarthy’s second Test hopes
The British & Irish Lions have called up Gregor Brown, a Scottish lock, to their squad after Ireland's Joe McCarthy was withdrawn from the first Test against Australia due to a foot condition known as plantar fasciitis. McCarthy's availability for the second Test on Saturday is in doubt, prompting the Lions to expand their squad to 45 players. Meanwhile, Owen Farrell is likely to start against the First Nations & Pasifika XV as the Lions continue their preparations for the remainder of the tour.
