The Lions have received a fitness boost ahead of Saturday's Super Rugby final against the Crusaders in Christchurch after flying winger Aphiwe Dyantyi and strongman Cyle Brink were passed fit to travel.
Springbok wing Dyantyi scored a brilliant solo try in the Lions' 44‑26 semi‑final win over the Waratahs in Johannesburg on Saturday, but left the field at halftime with a hamstring complaint.
He has been included in the 25‑man party to make the journey to New Zealand though, along with loose‑forward Brink, who missed the semi‑final with an arm injury.
The Lions are hoping to make it third time lucky after losing the 2016 Super Rugby final away to the Wellington Hurricanes, and failing again in a home decider against the Crusaders last year.
The Crusaders will meet the Lions at 7.35pm Saturday.
