Robbie Henshaw and George North have been ruled out of the rest of the British and Irish Lions Tour of New Zealand.

Both players suffered injuries in Tuesday night's draw against the Hurricanes and are heading home.

Henshaw suffered a torn pectoral muscle and North a hamstring tear.

Both will return home this weekend following the Lions second test against the All Blacks to undergo further treatment.

Ireland centre Henshaw started four games on Tour, against the Blues, Highlanders, Chiefs and Hurricanes while North started against the Crusaders, Maori All Blacks and Hurricanes - scoring a try in the latter on Tuesday night before injury struck.
