Sutherland added to British & Irish Lions squad

Glasgow Warriors prop Rory Sutherland has been called up to the British & Irish Lions tour of Australia, in what will be the loose-head’s second selection for the world’s most famous touring squad.

The 31-year-old – who made 12 appearances in 2024/25, his first season as a Warrior – was a standout performer on the 2021 tour of South Africa, earning two Test caps in the famous red jersey.

Sutherland will link up with the Lions squad in Melbourne next Sunday following the first Test, providing front-row cover for the clash with the First Nations & Pasifika XV on Tuesday 22 July.

He will join fellow Warriors Sione Tuipulotu, Huw Jones and Scott Cummings in Australia, the trio having played a prominent role in Saturday’s 48-0 victory over the AUNZ Invitational XV.
