Lions skipper delighted by Wilko 'boost'

Lions captain Brian O’Driscoll today hailed the addition of Jonny Wilkinson to the touring party as a “big boost” to his side’s chances of glory in New Zealand.

Wilkinson was included as the 45th member of the Lions squad last night after proving he had fully recovered from the knee ligament damage which threatened to wreck his dreams of a second Lions tour.
