Short-term British & Irish Lions call-ups Ewan Ashman, Gregor Brown, Rory Sutherland and Darcy Graham have returned home ahead of the second Test against the Wallabies.

The Scottish quartet were drafted in from their country’s tour of New Zealand to provide temporary cover, allowing Lions management to rest frontline players ahead of Saturday’s pivotal second Test against the Wallabies at the MCG.
Graham was injured just minutes into his Lions debut against the First Nations & Pasifika XV during the match Tuesday.
An emotional Graham posted on Instagram that: “16 minutes I’ll never forget. It’s been a rollercoaster of a journey but it was a dream come true to pull on the famous red jersey and make my Lions debut.”
Their brief stint ends with the Lions one win away from sealing the series. Victory on Saturday would secure a 2-0 lead and mark just the third successful Lions tour of the professional era, following the celebrated series wins in South Africa in 1997 and Australia in 2013.
