Social media storm as Luke Cowan-Dickie included in first Lions test in South Africa
There was outrage and concern on social media in recent hours after it was announced that the England prop, Luke Cowan-Dickie, was named to play in the Lions 22 man squad to face the Emirates Lions today.
The 28-year-old flew out to South Africa just days after featuring in Exeter Chiefs shock loss to Harlequins in the Premiership final at Twickenham.
A social media post by former England scrum-half Kyran Bracken has had fans up in arms about the prospect of the Chiefs man playing today in Johannesburg.
Bracken's post highlighted the fact that Luke Cowan-Dickie had sustained a serious concussion in the final against Harlequins just a week ago.
