Super 15 flanker forced out with concussion after head-knock.
Queensland Reds flanker Beau Robinson has been ruled out of Combined Country’s tour match with the British and Irish Lions in Newcastle.
Robinson withdrew from Tuesday’s tour game following a head clash during Saturday’s 22-12 loss to the Lions in Brisbane.
Robinson will be replaced at openside flanker by Reds’ teammate Jarrad Butler, while in another change scrum-half Ben Greentree is out with injury making way for Michael Snowden.
The Combined Country starting fifteen will include eight Super Rugby players and will be captained by Melbourne Rebels number eight Tim Davidson.
