Lions Centre Ringrose Ruled Out of First Australia Test, Cowan-Dickie a Doubt

AUSTRALIA, JUL 12 – Garry Ringrose failed a head injury assessment after scoring three tries on tour and will miss the Lions’ first Test against Australia due to concussion protocols.

  • In Canberra, Irish centre Garry Ringrose suffered a concussion during the Brumbies clash, failed his head injury assessment, and is ruled out of the first Test against Australia.
  • Following his full game against the ACT Brumbies, Ringrose developed delayed headaches, underwent HIA, and faces a mandatory 12-day stand-down, ruling him out of the first Test.
  • Garry Ringrose's concussion, confirmed after failing HIA protocols, leads to his absence from the first Test and prompts selection of alternatives like Huw Jones, who scored three tries in three tour games.
  • Meanwhile, Lions call up fullback Jamie Osborne as cover after Cowan-Dickie’s head injury rules him out of the first Test.
  • Per concussion return-to-play protocols, Ringrose's 12-day stand-down rules him out of the first Test, but he is expected to rejoin the squad for the midweek game before July 22.
