LONDON (Reuters) - Sam Warburton was named captain of the British and Irish Lions for the second time on Wednesday as coach Warren Gatland unveiled a bumper 41-man squad for the 10-match tour of New Zealand that he described as the biggest challenge in rugby.
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. He also skippered them on the successful 2013 tour of Australia.
