James Hook

Wales (Ospreys)

James Hook was called up to the Lions squad in place of the injured Leigh Halfpenny.

Unlucky to be a selection afterthought, the gifted Ospreys outhalf played too deeply against the Cheetahs and was largely confined to bit parts such as his match-winning penalty against the Western Stormers. A curiously unfulfilled tour from a curiously unfulfilled talent.
