Kinghorn concern as Lions labour to win

RUGBY UNION

- By DUNCAN BECH

THE British and Irish Lions are sweating on the fitness of Blair Kinghorn as they face the possibility of losing another fullback to injury.

Kinghorn took a bang to his knee early in the Lions’ 36-24 victory over ACT Brumbies in Canberra and attempted to play on before eventually limping off in the 25th minute.

The Scotland star, seen as a likely starter in the first Test against Australia on July 19, thumped the pitch in frustration when he first felt the injury and he is waiting to find out the extent of the damage.
