What a day for Scottish rugby!
Gregor Townsend has led Scotland to their first ever win over Australia in Sydney but will have to do without two players for the rest of their summer tour.

The British & Irish Lions have confirmed that two more players will be added to their squad before Tuesday’s game against the Chiefs.
Out-half Finn Russell and prop Allan Dell will link up with the Lions squad on Sunday – two days out from the Chiefs game – after flying out from Sydney tonight.

The addition of the two Scots comes hot on the heels of Gatland adding four more Welsh players to a squad that now totals 45 [Ross Moriarty has been ruled out].
Cory Hill, Kristian Dacey, Gareth Davies and Tomas Francis were at the Lions 32-10 victory over the Maori All Blacks.
All six new players are only expected to make the Lions bench against Chiefs in Hamilton but will remain on with the tour party.
