Warburton steps down as Wales captain for 6 Nations
Print Edition
SAM Warburton has conceded the captaincy of Wales to lock Alun Wyn Jones for the Six Nations.
Warburton stepped down to get his form in order after a run of injuries. But he was still part of a 36-man squad also featuring seven newcomers. Warburton has led Wales a record 49 times since 2011, including at the last two Rugby World Cups. His sides won the Six Nations in 2012 and 2013, and he led the British and Irish Lions to a series win in Australia in 2013. When Warburton missed the third test against the Wallabies, Jones took over. Jones took charge again yesterday, with other candidates Gethin Jenkins and Dan Lydiate on the long-term injury list. Jones, the 105-cap lock who has captained Wales five times previously, will lead the team out at its Six Nations opener on February 5 against Italy in Rome.
