BRISBANE, June 22 (Reuters) - British and Irish Lions winger Tommy Bowe will be available for the second test against Australia after having surgery to fix a broken bone in his hand, coach Warren Gatland said on Saturday.
Bowe sat out the Lions' opening 23-21 test victory on Saturday after suffering the injury in a warm-up match against the Queensland Reds this month.
The Irishman was initially expected to miss the rest of the Lions tour but has made a swift recovery.
"Tommy Bowe is fit and available, he trained today and did contact," Gatland told reporters.
England centre Manu Tuilagi will be available for Tuesday's tour match against the Melbourne Rebels.
"Manu will be available for Tuesday. Having firepower come back and more options is hopefully going to be good for the next two weeks," Gatland added.

DEAR ABBY: I was taken away from my parents at 13 and placed into foster care, where I stayed until I aged out at 21. My biological mother is a drug addict who abandoned me to my father when I was 11. She never tried to contact me while I was in care.I am now 24 and she won't leave me alone. She sends Facebook messages that alternate between begging me to let her get to know me, and condemning me for being vindictive and not having forgiveness in my heart. Abby, this woman exposed me to drugs and all manner of seedy people and situations. ...
DETROIT (AP) — Radio transmissions between a 19-year-old pilot and a Detroit-area airport control tower point to the small plane he was operating as being too heavy before it crashed just after takeoff, killing all four people aboard.
One of the first people to meet Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's new baby was inexplicably one of the dorkiest people on the planet, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak — or maybe it's not so inexplicable. Woz met little North West the other day as a birthday present to Kanye, who is "interested in technology and companies," Wozniak told CNN's Piers Morgan. That doesn't quite explain Woz as Kim's choice: he hasn't really worked at Apple since 1986. So, why, then did Woz get the honor? We investigate.
