ELLIOT Daly is to undergo an X-ray for a possible broken forearm after being forced off in the second half of the British and Irish Lions’ 52-12 victory over Queensland Reds.

Head coach Andy Farrell denied the Lions are facing problems at full-back despite the doubt that now hovers over Daly’s ongoing participation in the tour.

Daly made a remarkable 11th successive appearance in a Lions matchday 23 after being drafted in as a late replacement for Huge Keenan, who was ruled out by illness shortly before kick-off.

The England star and veteran of three Lions tours was on song again for Farrell’s men, only to be left clutching his left arm in agony after making a tackle on Jock Campbell and, after playing on, he left the field in the 67th minute.
