Jamie George joins Lions squad for Portugal Training Camp


Jamie George will head to Portugal with the British & Irish Lions to train with the squad.
The hooker, who has toured twice in the past has joined the group who assembled in Dublin ahead of a six-day training camp.
Fellow Saracens Maro Itoje, Ben Earl and Elliot Daly have also joined the squad.
The squad will travel to Quinta da Lago tomorrow, with those involved in the Premiership Rugby and URC finals, joining the squad in Ireland next week ahead of the 1888 Cup match in Dublin against Argentina.
Lions Head Coach Andy Farrell said: “It’s great to finally be at the stage where we can get onto the training ground and get to work with these players.
“Portugal will be really important for us as we look to get our house in order with only a few training sessions before we take on Argentina in the 1888 Cup in Dublin.”
