Flutey fighting fit

07 January 2009
Flutey, who has yet to start a game on tour, will return to team training on Monday.
And it means the Lions can select from almost a fully fit squad as the build-up continues towards next week's first Test against world champions South Africa.
Flutey has been troubled by a knee injury he suffered after going on as a replacement during the Lions' opening fixture against the Royal XV in Rustenburg eight days ago.
But Lions' team doctor James Robson confirmed that Flutey will be available when head coach Ian McGeechan considers his side for the Sharks clash.
Wales flanker Martyn Williams is the only player who will not feature on Wednesday as he continues his recovery from a shoulder problem.
But the injury is not serious, and Williams will undoubtedly have a chance to press his claims ahead of the opening South Africa encounter.
The Lions have now arrived at their beach-side retreat outside Durban, targeting a fourth successive tour win after defeating the Royal XV, the Golden Lions and latterly the Cheetahs.
