CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - South Africa World Cup winner Lukhanyo Am, who captains a shadow Springbok side against British & Irish Lions on Wednesday, says a week isolating in a hotel room was from ideal preparation for the test series but has allowed several players to get over injury.

Am was one of the key performers when they won the 2019 World Cup and has been rewarded with the captaincy of South Africa A, who will take on Lions in Cape Town on Wednesday.
