Stuart Hogg, who was named captain for the first match of the British and Irish Lions' tour of South Africa, will turn to injured Alun Wyn Jones for advice but also take inspiration from past skipper Martin Johnson.
Hogg will captain the Lions against the Gauteng Lions at Ellis Park on Saturday in a role that might have gone to Jones, who was appointed tour captain but pulled out after a shoulder injury in the warm-up test against Japan.Hogg said the veteran Welsh lock would still be a long-distance influence and that he would call him for advice before the game.
"After watching the '97 tour video about a million times, and being able to quote 90per cent of it, I’d probably say Martin Johnson. I absolutely loved it," he said of the documentary Living with the Lions.
