The British and Irish Lions beat Japan 28-10 at Murrayfield on Saturday in the curtain-raiser to their tour of South Africa but victory was overshadowed by a potentially serious injury to captain Alun Wyn Jones. The Edinburgh match, the Lions' first game in Scotland and first against Japan, was barely eight minutes old when Jones went off clutching his wrist. But a statement on the Lions' Twitter feed said the 35-year-old Wales lock had suffered a shoulder injury. The Lions outscored their opponents four tries to one in what was Japan's first international since a 2019 World Cup quarter-final loss to South Africa. jdg/dj
