# Rugby: The British and Irish Lions have called up Irish and Leinster tighthead prop, Tom Clarkson, as additional front-row cover ahead of the first Test against Australia on Saturday. The 25-year-old’s call-up increases the Irish contingent in the Lions squad to 18. Clarkson’s Irish teammate, utility back Jamie Osborne, is already with the squad in Brisbane after being summoned from Portugal as cover for Blair Kinghorn, who injured his knee. English and Saracens hooker Jamie George has also received a call-up.
