Cowan fit for Springboks clash

New Zealand scrum-half Jimmy Cowan has been passed fit to travel with the All Blacks squad for their Tri Nations clash with South Africa a week on Saturday.

The 28-year-old was a doubt after being forced to miss Saturday’s 20-10 victory over Australia in Christchurch due to a rib injury suffered in the 49-28 win over the Wallabies in Melbourne.
