Paul O'Connell: Will miss the rest of the Lions tour
The British and Irish Lions have suffered a massive setback after influential lock Paul O'Connell was ruled out of the rest of the tour.
O'Connell, who was the 2009 tour captain, suffered a fractured arm in the 23-21 victory over Australia in the first Test in Brisbane.
And a scan on the injury has now revealed the extent of the injury, with O'Connell's tour now over.
It is a cruel blow for O'Connell, who had fought his way back from two serious injuries to make the tour.
The Lions posted on Twitter: "Paul O'Connell ruled out of Test series with undisplaced fracture of lower rgt arm"
