Stuart Hogg denies biting claims

"I would never bite an opponent and I am annoyed and upset by this unsubstantiated accusation. I’ve always been proud of playing rugby in the spirit of the game."

British & Irish Lions' Stuart Hogg dejected after the game

Stuart Hogg has categorically denied committing any act of foul play after the British & Irish Lions full-back was accused on social media of biting Willie Le Roux.

Footage of the alleged incident began circulating online shortly after the final whistle of a fiery second Test at Cape Town Stadium as the Springboks secured a 27-9 victory to send the series into a decisive third and final Test next Saturday.
