British and Irish Lions: Jonathan Davies & Stuart Hogg out of Highlanders game

Stuart Hogg was left bloodied after colliding with the elbow of team-mate Conor Murray

Jonathan Davies and Stuart Hogg were ruled out of the British and Irish Lions' game against Highlanders on Tuesday after both suffered head injuries in a 12-3 win over Crusaders.

Welsh centre Davies was hurt as a try-scoring chance went begging and was taken off soon after.

Hogg was cut over his left eye after accidentally colliding with the elbow of Lions scrum-half Conor Murray.

Davies and Scottish full-back Hogg both failed head injury assessments (HIAs).

They are not allowed to play for a minimum of six days and will have to pass the return to play protocol before being made available for selection again.

Fly-half Dan Biggar failed an HIA after the 22-16 defeat against Blues on Wednesday, 7 June.

Tour captain Sam Warburton returns against Highlanders after injuring his ankle in the opening match of the New Zealand tour against Provincial Barbarians on 3 June.

However, Warburton's fellow Welsh back-rower Ross Moriarty remains absent because of a back problem following their win over Provincial Barbarians.

The fixture against Highlanders in Dunedin (kick off 08:35 BST) is the Lions' fourth of the tour with matches against Maori All Blacks and Chiefs to follow before the first of three Tests against New Zealand on Saturday, 24 June.
