Wales back row Sam Warburton will captain the British and Irish Lions on their tour of New Zealand.

Coach Warren Gatland has chosen 16 England players, 12 from Wales, 11 from Ireland and two from Scotland.

The tour, which runs from 3 June to 8 July, features three Tests against the All Blacks who are world champions.

The former Wales skipper is only the second player, after England's Martin Johnson, to captain the Lions in two tours.
