Overview
- Mack Hansen is a doubt for Saturday’s opener at Suncorp Stadium after sustaining a foot injury in the Lions’ 48-0 win over the AUNZ Invitational XV.
- Blair Kinghorn’s knee issue and Garry Ringrose’s concussion lay-off have also kept key backs out of full training but are described by staff as manageable.
- Richard Wigglesworth said none of the setbacks appear serious and final squad confirmation will follow Thursday’s last training session.
- Scotland winger Darcy Graham was expedited in from New Zealand to bolster the Lions’ cover in the back three.
- Should Hansen and Kinghorn be ruled out, Hugo Keenan, James Lowe and Tommy Freeman are the leading candidates to fill the starting wings.
