England's Henry Pollock Withdrawn from British & Irish Lions Game
Henry Pollock, the England flanker, has been pulled from the British & Irish Lions game against the NSW Waratahs due to a tight calf. Tadhg Beirne will now wear the No.6 jersey in Pollock's absence.
The British & Irish Lions have confirmed that England flanker Henry Pollock has been withdrawn from today’s fixture against the NSW Waratahs. The back-row has been pulled as a precaution due to a tight calf. Pollock was originally named to start at blindside flanker but was removed from the matchday 23 on Saturday. In his absence, Tadhg Beirne shifts to wear the No.6 jersey and will continue as captain. Scott Cummings steps into the starting XV to partner James Ryan in the engine room. Duhan van der Merwe is called up onto the bench. Van der Merwe will wear the 20 jersey typically worn by a forward. This change follows news earlier this week that Elliot Daly’s campaign had ended due to a fractured forearm. The Lions, coming off a win over the Queensland Reds, will be looking to maintain momentum in Sydney.
