Tigers fly-half will be on the plane to Durban

Toby Flood came through a full training session with England to prove he is fit for the forthcoming tour of South Africa. The Leicester fly-half has been sidelined since damaging his ankle against Bath on May 5 and he was withdrawn from the Aviva Premiership final on Saturday with a tight groin. But Flood looked sharp as the England touring squad were put through their attacking paces ahead of Wednesday's departure for Durban. Flood, who has not started a Test at fly-half since the World Cup game against Georgia, will compete with Owen Farrell and Charlie Hodgson for the position in England's three-Test series.
