Vito answers All Blacks SOS

Wellington loose forward Victor Vito has been called into the All Blacks squad for their Tri-Nations trip to South Africa.

The 24-year-old, who played six Tests for the All Blacks in 2010, on Thursday joined his teammates in Auckland for a two-day camp to prepare for the final two Tri-Nations Tests - against South Africa in Port Elizabeth and Australia in Brisbane.

The squad which will travel to South Africa will be named on Friday.

The squad will depart for SA on Saturday.
