All Blacks: Donnelly given all clear

Tom Donnelly has been given the all clear to play in tomorrow morning's Tri-Nations test with South Africa in Soweto.

Donnelly was in some doubt after injuring his right ankle and missing all bar 10 minutes of training yesterday. However, the two-metre tall lock was moving freely during the captain's run at the National Stadium and will start against the Springboks.

The team was very relaxed during their hour-long stay at what was Soccer City, mixing and mingling with a New Zealand tour party and members of the NZ2011 delegation at the conclusion of their walk through.
