Lions captain Sam Warburton with head coach Warren Gatland after the squad announcement. Wales flanker Warburton (28) joins England's Martin Johnson as the only men to have led the Lions twice, even after standing down from the Wales captaincy this year. The squad includes 16 Englishmen, 12 from Wales, 11 Irish and two Scots - fullback Stuart Hogg and winger Tommy Seymour. Scotland have not had a Lions test starter since prop Tom Smith in 2001. Warburton is currently out injured but said he would be fit in time.
