Paul O’Connell has suffered an arm injury that may see him drop out of the Lions tour. The Munster lock is currently being monitored by the Lions medical team, with earlier reports that he was leaving the tour subsequently downgraded as O'Connell was given extra time to prove his fitness.

O’Connell put in an excellent performance yesterday and if he drops out of the tour due to injury it will be a major blow to the Lions’ chances of securing the series win.

Ulster prop Tom Court has been called up to the squad as cover for Alex Corbisiero and will be on the bench for Tuesday’s game with Melbourne Rebels.
