British and Irish Lions Manage Kinghorn Knee Injury During Australia Tour

British & Irish Lions fullback Blair Kinghorn suffered a knee injury during their win over the ACT Brumbies, but head coach Andy Farrell confirmed the injury did not seem serious and Kinghorn was in good spirits, even singing while being assessed. Despite the injury, Kinghorn is expected to be managed back into training in time for the first Test against Australia on July 19, with Jamie Osborne called up to provide additional training cover and ease squad burden. Marcus Smith replaced Kinghorn during the match and performed well, while other options like Ireland's Hugo Keenan remain available. Farrell expressed some dissatisfaction with the Lions' overall performance against the Brumbies, noting areas needing improvement such as breakdown defense and consistency, but remains confident in the team's progress. The Lions have won four successive matches on their Australian tour, with their focus now on preparing for the upcoming Test series. The team continues to work on converting opportunities and maintaining game control to be fully prepared for the Tests.
