The British & Irish Lions have confirmed that Tomos Williams suffered a tour-ending hamstring injury in Saturday’s win against the Western Force in Perth.
Toulon and Scotland scum-half Ben White has been called up to replace him and will join up with the squad in Brisbane.
Lions Head Coach Andy Farrell said: “Unfortunately Tomos has been ruled out of the rest of the tour with a hamstring injury. Ben White will join us from the Scotland squad and will fly over from New Zealand.”
Lions Tour Manager Ieuan Evans, MBE said: “This is desperately sad news for Tomos and we wish him all the very best in his recovery.
“Tomos is an exemplary Lion who has had a brilliant season having joined the tour after being named as Premiership Rugby’s player-of-the-season.
“He lit up this Lions tour with both his personality and his talent.”
