O'Driscoll has a dislocated shoulder and will play no further part in the tour

Lions coach Sir Clive Woodward has been forced to delay naming his line up for Tuesday's match against Manawatu because of injuries and suspensions.

Woodward was set to reveal his team on Sunday for the Palmerston North clash.

But the loss of Brian O'Driscoll, Richard Hill and Tom Shanklin plus Danny Grewcock's ban for biting has forced him to hold fire until Monday.

Meanwhile, Manawatu have named former Auckland captain Nathan Kemp as their skipper for the encounter.
