Lions rocked before Sharks match after two players forced to isolate

• Tourists waiting on tests as Sharks game delayed
• Remainder of tour of South Africa now in peril

The British & Irish Lions have been hit by a positive Covid-19 test, throwing Wednesday night's match against the Sharks into jeopardy and raising even more doubt over the remainder of the tour of South Africa.

One member of the tourists' staff has recorded a positive result following a lateral flow test and that they and four others - including two players - have been forced into isolation. The Lions are waiting on the results of further tests before making a call on the match against the Sharks but the kick-off time has already been delayed by one hour to 7pm BST.
