Wilkinson added to Lions squad after proving fitness
Mon 09 May, 2:47 AM
LONDON (Reuters) - Injury-plagued England flyhalf Jonny Wilkinson has been
added to the British and Irish Lions squad to tour New Zealand after proving
his fitness to head coach Clive Woodward.
The 25-year-old Newcastle player has just returned to action after aggravating
a knee injury on his comeback from shoulder problems in March.
"When we announced the squad a number of players had to prove their fitness
before inclusion in the tour party -- this included Jonny," Woodward said on
Sunday.
"He has come through it with typical determination and I am delighted that he
is able to join the tour party when we assemble on the 17th May.
"I have been monitoring his progress over the past few weeks and have been
impressed, he has looked good physically and his appetite for the game has
clearly not diminished."
Wilkinson has not played a test since drop-kicking the winning goal in the 2003
World Cup final against Australia.
Ireland centre Brian O'Driscoll will captain the team for the three-test tour
starting in June. He is the first Irishman to lead the Lions since Ciaran
Fitzgerald skippered the 1983 side in New Zealand.
