Gatland adds two more Lions to Jersey training camp
Two more players have been inducted into Warren Gatland's British & Irish Lions training camp on Jersey, although there's still no sign of Saracens' Lion contingent.
England's Kyle Sinckler and Tom Curry have been added after Bristol Bears and Sale Sharks were knocked out at the semi-final stage of the Gallagher Premiership. Meanwhile, Leinster and Ireland's Ronan Kelleher will continue to train on the island in the absence of Jamie George and Luke Cowan-Dickie.
Saracens used all five of their Lions in their second-leg victory over Ealing Trailfinders today, a result that secures their return to the English top-flight after the summer. George, Elliot Daly, Maro Itoje, Owen Farrell and Mako Vunipola will join up with their new teammates shortly.
A British & Irish Lions statement reads: "Kyle Sinckler (Bristol Bears, England) and Tom Curry (Sale Sharks, England) have joined up with 26-man Lions squad in Jersey. Ronan Kelleher (Leinster Rugby, Ireland) will remain in Jersey to train, but has not been formally added to the 37-man touring party."
