Simon Taylor was today confirmed as the Lions' latest injury casualty.
The 21-year-old Scottish back-row forward, who went on as a second-half substitute during yesterday's record 116-10 victory over Western Australia, has suffered ligament damage to his left knee.
Taylor underwent tests this morning, and has remained with the Lions squad for their seven-hour flight from Perth to Townsville ahead of next Tuesday's game against a Queensland President's XV.
England's Martin Corry is already on route from Canada to act as cover, and he is expected in Townsville tonight.
Taylor joins hooker Phil Greening, who also has a knee problem, on the sidelines, with Scotland's Gordon Bulloch also travelling out.
The call-ups come just one game into a 10-match trip.
Both players were considered unlucky to miss out when the Lions squad was announced six weeks ago, yet have now been handed quickfire opportunities. -PA
