GLOUCESTER'S Ross Moriarty has been ruled out of the British and Irish Lions tour in another blow to head coach Warren Gatland's plans.
The Wales flanker suffered a back strain in the tour-opening 13-7 win over the Provincial Barbarians and has now had to admit defeat in his fitness battle.
The Lions added four Wales players to their ranks on Saturday, and were poised to draft in two Scotland men too.
