Scotland prop Euan Murray and Wales fly-half James Hook will both miss British and Irish Lions opening Test against South Africa in Durban on Saturday through injuries sustained in Tuesday's hard-fought win over Southern Kings in Port Elizabeth.
Murray has sprained his right ankle, while Hook suffered bruising to his neck and head.
Lions assistant coach Rob Howley told reporters: "Neither player will be available for selection for the first Test. It is an ongoing assessment with both players."
