Both players will fly home following the second Test against the All Blacks in Wellington on Saturday to undergo further treatment.

The Ireland centre Henshaw sustained a torn pectoral muscle, while the Wales wing North tore a hamstring having scored the Lions’ second try in the match against the reigning Super Rugby champions.

Neither player was expected to make Warren Gatland’s 23-man squad to face the All Blacks in the second Test, and with only two matches remaining in the series no replacements will be called.
