Richard Hibbard is determined to put last summer's demons behind him when he travels to Australia with the British and Irish Lions.
Hibbard missed Wales' World Cup campaign in 2011 through injury, and when he was forced off while playing against Glasgow for the Ospreys three weeks ago it looked as though his jinx may have struck again. The front-rower had damaged a medial ligament in his knee but insists there is no doubt about his fitness for the Lions tour. "I'm hoping to be back in training within a couple of weeks," he said. "I'm pleased with the way it's going. When the injury happened, I thought: 'I'm cursed'. But we have great physios at the Ospreys and with luck I'll be going at full tilt as soon as I return."
