Blair Kinghorn's Lions tour delayed amid Toulouse final and Pacific rowers
Blair Kinghorn's arrival down under for the British & Irish Lions tour has been delayed by the small matter of a Top 14 final commitment with Toulouse, who play Jonny Gray's Bordeaux in Paris on Saturday night.
When it comes to taking the long way round to Australia, however, Kinghorn has nothing on a trio of fellow Edinburgh Academy alumni who are due to make landfall in time for the third Test in Sydney after 120 days spent rowing some 9,000 miles across the Pacific Ocean.
The Maclean brothers — Lachlan, Ewan and Jamie — set off in April in a 28-foot carbon fibre boat, Rose Emily, named after their late sister, in a bid to raise £1m for clean water projects in Madagascar.
