British and Irish Lions:Replacement scrumhalf Mike Blair is the latest British and Irish Lions casualty after the Scot was withdrawn from today's encounter with the Western Province in Cape Town (2pm Irish time).

Blair sprained a ligament in his foot in training yesterday which unfortunately failed to settle adequately overnight.

With Mike Phillips still recovering from the midweek game against the Sharks, it means Blair's place on the replacements bench has been taken by Shane Williams, who will cover at scrumhalf.
