Warburton out for six weeks, but should make Lions tour
By Peter Thompson
Sam Warburton has been ruled out for around six weeks with a knee injury but should be fit, if selected, for the British and Irish Lions tour of New Zealand.
The Wales flanker sustained a medial ligament strain during Cardiff Blues' Pro12 draw at Ulster last Friday.
Warburton is a strong favourite to skipper the Lions again in New Zealand, having done so in Australia in 2013, but will not play for his club again this season.

Couple of things BS missed: wind was behind the Baby Blacks in the first half. Baby Boks got points from a scrum penalty in the final quarter against this ‘dominant pack’, and left three points on the park after a missed penalty.
