Scotland prop Euan Murray will take no further part in the British Lions tour and is set to head home from South Africa.

The Northampton Saints star limped out of the bruising win over the Southern Kings on Tuesday with an ankle injury.

The 28-year-old had an X-ray that confirmed there was no break but the damage is so severe that he will not recover in time for any further matches in South Africa.

Murray is the fourth Lion to fly home and head coach Ian McGeechan said:

"Euan has an ankle injury that is going to keep him out beyond the end of the tour."

Veteran Irishman John Hayes, who has 94 caps for his country, has been called up as Murray's replacement.
