Lions full-back Daly to have X-ray on injured arm

Elliot Daly’s forearm was injured in the second half of the British and Irish Lions’ victory over the Queensland Reds, and he will need an X-ray.

Hugo Keenan, Blair Kinghorn, and Marcus Smith had taken the 15-shirt shirt off of Hugo Keenan, Blair Kinghorn, and Marcus Smith with his strong tour performance, but the versatile 32-year-old made his first Test start at full-back in four years in England’s victory over Italy in March.

After Keenan, who was initially named a starter after overcoming a calf strain, suffered a bout of illness, Daly was immediately assigned to the starting XV to face the Reds.

With the first Test in three and a half weeks, Daly’s team is expected to have a positive outlook, Lions head coach Andy Farrell said.

We all keep our fingers crossed for him because he has a bang on his forearm and will undergo an X-ray this evening.

In their Dublin defeat by Argentina, Daly started at fullback for both of their tour games against Australia and took the starting spot off the bench.

The Lions are still in contention for the title after winning last weekend’s Top 14 final against his French side, Kinghorn.

Farrell claims that despite only having three more warm-up games before the Lions face the Wallabies in Brisbane’s series opener on July 19, he is unconcerned.

He claimed that there are numerous full-backs.

“Blair is ready to go, and Humo will be fine tomorrow, or the following day.”

Farrell says he has not been surprised by how Daly seized his opportunity on his third Lions tour, despite being regarded by some as a left-field pick having only made two starts for England in the previous year.

“He’s returned to his good old self, hasn’t he”? Farrell remarked.

“We’ve seen him before on these tours,” he said. He is undoubtedly a character who enjoys traveling because of his personality.

He said, “Well done, you have won the golden ticket and are playing this evening,” when I called him up today. He had just come out of the gym and had a tough old session.
