Wales forward Ryan Jones has been summoned to join the Lions in New Zealand amid growing concerns about Simon Taylor's fitness.
Neath-Swansea Ospreys player Jones, a member of Wales' RBS 6 Nations Grand Slam squad this season, is to fly out as the third Lions squad addition after England lock Simon Shaw and Ireland flanker Simon Easterby.
Scottish star Taylor is struggling with a hamstring problem and has withdrawn from the Lions starting line-up for Saturday's game against New Zealand Maori.
