(Reuters) - Wales loose forward Sam Warburton will be happy just to earn selection for the British and Irish Lions side heading to New Zealand this year and has no concerns over his chances of being named as captain for a second time.

"I'd love to be in that (Lions) squad and I can't look past further than that. There's so much competition in the squad," Warburton told British media.
