CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - Stuart Hogg is hoping to put past bad luck with the British & Irish Lions behind him and push for test selection when he captains the tourists against South Africa’s Stormers in Cape Town on Saturday.

The fullback has returned from a spell in COVID-19 isolation at the team hotel where he was unable to train and had to while away the time watching his team mates prepare for the three-test series with the world champion Springboks starting on July 24.
