British and Irish Lions

O'Callaghan limped off during the first half of Sunday's 36-15 victory over Wales after straining the medial ligament in his right knee and will not recover in time for the repeat of last season's Grand Slam decider.

But a scan has revealed the damage is not as bad as first feared and the rookie 24-year-old forward, who has edged veteran lock Malcolm O'Kelly out of the starting line-up, should be given the all-clear for Italy on March 20.

Ireland coach Eddie O'Sullivan has added eight players to his squad for training this week - Gavin Duffy, Rob Henderson, Anthony Horgan, John Kelly, Bernard Jackman, Gary Longwell, Matt McCullough and Neil McMillan.

O'Sullivan will announce his final 22-man squad for the clash on Friday.

Lions skipper Sam Warburton says the lessons he and his Welsh colleagues learnt in Australia last summer will stand them in good stead for their return visit with Britain and Ireland's elite next month.

Tom Youngs has enjoyed a remarkable rise to the top of the British & Irish game but he won't be resting on his laurels ahead of his first Lions adventure.
