Wilkinson is added to Lions squad for NZ tour

JONNY WILKINSON’S waiting game ended last night when he was added to the Lions squad for this summer’s tour to New Zealand.

Lions boss Sir Clive Woodward has made Wilkinson his 45th player for the three-Test trip, having closely monitored his comeback from a knee injury during the past month.

The England fly-half and captain was omitted from the original Lions squad, but Woodward left the selection door open, subject to form and fitness.
