Jamie George called up as Lions lose Cowan-Dickie and Ringrose for first Australia Test
Briefly

Andy Farrell faces selection challenges ahead of the first Test against Australia due to Garry Ringrose and Luke Cowan-Dickie being ruled out by concussion. Jamie George is called up from Argentina as cover for Cowan-Dickie. Ringrose's absence might lead to Huw Jones starting alongside Sione Tuipulotu. Farrell highlighted the importance of adhering to concussion protocols and the critical nature of blending talent in the midfield as the tour reaches a pivotal stage, indicating potential involvement of Owen Farrell as well.
Farrell expressed that it is unfortunate for Garry Ringrose and everyone involved that he has to miss the first Test due to concussion protocols, but it's imperative not to rush the healing process in such situations.
With the Lions' tour intensifying, the selection of a proper midfield combination becomes crucial. There is a potential for Owen Farrell to play a role in the team's strategy.
