Boks rush Lambie back

By Online Editors

The Springbok selectors have added Patrick Lambie, Lwazi Mvovo and Chiliboy Ralepelle to the training squad for Saturday's Tri-Nations Test against New Zealand in Port Elizabeth.

The players' provinces were contacted last week to secure their release for the final Tri-Nations Test of the season.

The trio all appeared in the away-leg of the competition and will resume training with the squad in Port Elizabeth on Monday. Lambie appeared at flyhalf and fullback in Sydney and Wellington respectively while Sharks teammate, Mvovo, made two starts on the left wing. The Blue Bulls' Ralepelle appeared twice as a replacement hooker.

The Springbok medical team will provide an update on the squad's injury status on Monday, but confirmed on Sunday that reports that captain John Smit had torn elbow ligaments and would miss the World Cup were completely inaccurate.
