Ambitious Warburton targets Aussie tour whitewash

BRITISH & IRISH LIONS TOUR:

The back row finally spearheads the squad he was chosen to lead when the Lions meet the Queensland Reds at Suncorp Stadium having missed the first two games of the tour with a knee injury.

Warburton, 24, takes over from Paul O’Connell and Brian O’Driscoll, skippers in the first two games, for game three and not only does he want to continue their good work with a third win but also achieve something no other tour captain managed, to whitewash their tour opponents in all 10 of their games.
