Andy Farrell has called Ireland tighthead prop Thomas Clarkson into his Lions squad in Australia. The 25-year-old will provide extra cover at tighthead for the upcoming series against Australia and the friendly clash with the First Nations & Pasifika XV. The Lions already had three tightheads in their squad - Tadhg Furlong, Finlay Bealham, and Will Stuart. Clarkson's presence may allow the Lions to rest their frontline props in the midweek game. He is the 18th Irish player in Farrell's Lions squad and one of 14 Leinster players. Clarkson has eight Irish caps and played a key role in Leinster's recent URC success. England's Jamie George is also joining the squad due to an injury. Cowan-Dickie and Ringrose are expected to be available after their head injuries.
