Fullback Stuart Hogg has been ruled out of the remainder of British and Irish Lions tour of New Zealand because of a facial fracture sustained in the match against the Canterbury Crusaders last weekend, the tourists said on Tuesday. Scot Hogg, player of the tournament in the Six Nations for the last two years, was favourite to play fullback in the test team to face the All Blacks in the three-match series starting on June 24. He will not be immediately replaced in the squad. (This article has not been edited by DNA's editorial team and is auto-generated from an agency feed.)
