Lions pair North, Henshaw to miss rest of tour

British and Irish Lions’ George North

George North and Robbie Henshaw will miss the rest of the British and Irish Lions’ tour of New Zealand due to injuries.

Henshaw tore his pectoral muscle and North his hamstring in the Lions’ thrilling 31-31 draw against the Hurricanes on Tuesday.

The Lions confirmed the pair would miss the remainder of the tour, flying home after Saturday’s second Test against the All Blacks.

Ireland’s Henshaw started four games on the tour and Wales’ North three, but neither featured in the first-Test loss.

Razor's 2024 All Blacks Christmas wish list

Yeah they could have done with more grunt against France for sure. The opportunity for Lakai was good, and he was affective for 40 minutes but a full 80 was far too much to put on a debutant, losing a bit of the punch that was needed in the game be himself coming on fresh at the end.

But others here are blaming him for the non World Cup win. Fact is , he is a better 10 than the 2 hybrid ones you love.

Believe it or not rugby is a team sport. We did not lose the WC final because of Richie. He was one of our best in the Final and was named in the Tournament 15 after it was all over. You could say Sam Cane cost us the Final, he got carded AGAIN......

The articles picture is such a click bait tease. So did Razor and Richie lock lips or not?

My Christmas wish is for more balanced rugby “journalism” from this site, and less fan baiting for clicks.

but if you can't adapt to different systems and different sets of players, you aren't good enough for international rugby.

if you need to change the entire selection and tactical approach in order to allow one player to shine, then maybe you should go without that one player!


England are much better off with Ford or Fin at 10.

The last paragraph is key. Most scrum “dominance” ends in penalties. Why? Let them play the ball unless it’s impossible.

Nice article. I can certainly see the reasoning on the Red Roses but I'm a kiwi and physiologically incapable of wishing England will win. Would love to see more action for the smaller nations - including getting the ABs to play in Fiji.

Records show All Blacks' greatest rugby adversary is now Ireland

Guys please don't respond to this post...its Ben Smith notorious for his dislike of Springboks and still so pissed off they've won 4 world cups to the 3 of his beloved All Blacks...Rubgbypass should think very carefully about retaining such a jaundiced one eyed rugby writer.

Springboks dominate in 2024 despite ill-discipline

And when the springboks start losing again there will be some numb nuts going on about how it’s because “they are being refereed correctly now”.

And it will be the ABs getting away with murder.

Lame.

It's so true. Apparently they can't just be a really good team but are instead giant cheats who get let away with everything.

That’s what they said about the all blacks when they were at #1.

No matter who the top dog is, there will always be a theory about how they are treated special by referees.
