Lions hope Hook can face Baby Boks

THE Lions are hopeful that James Hook will be passed fit ahead of tomorrow’s clash with the Emerging Springboks in Cape Town.

Hook’s return to action must be signed off by an independent neurologist today but the Welsh fly-half has made good progress after suffering a concussion against the Southern Kings last week.

“James continues to make excellent recovery from his head knock last week,” said Lions doctor James Robson.
