Payne stayed in Wellington for tests after reporting a headache before the Hurricanes game.

British & Irish Lions Head Coach Warren Gatland said: “While the findings of Jared’s tests have been normal he still has migraine and will not be fit to train until his symptoms have settled.

“The specialists are happy that the symptoms are not concussion related and he is expected to recover fully. We wish him a speedy recovery.”
