Utility back James Hook travelled to South Africa in 2009 as a replacement for Welsh compatriot Leigh Halfpenny who failed to shake off a thigh injury.
Hook played in six Tour matches, four of them as a replacement, and scored 35 points. His haul included a try against Golden Lions in his first appearance in the famous red jersey.
He was named in the 22-man squad for the third and final Test against the Springboks, but was the only replacement who failed to emerge from the bench.
