Star wing Aphiwe Dyantyi has joined the Lions on tour in New Zealand and is expected to feature against the Hurricanes in Wellington this Saturday.

The 23-year-old picked up a pectoral muscle injury against the Jaguares on 23 March, but returned to action for the Golden Lions in the Rugby Challenge this past weekend.

Dyantyi flew out to join the Lions at the beginning of the week, effectively filling the spot in the tour squad left vacant by the injury to captain Warren Whiteley.
