Warren Gatland warns his Lions squad to keep their Covid bubble secure

Warren Gatland warned his Lions to keep their Covid-safe bubble tight as they kick off their tour in Scotland this weekend, avoiding a Billy Gilmour situation.

The Scottish footballer tested positive for the virus at the Euros, and having hugged Chelsea team-mates Ben Chillwell and Mason Mount after the England 0-0 draw has knocked them out for a week as they have to now self-isolate.

And Gatland sees that incident as a reminder to the Lions.
