Sam Warburton has declared he is ready to be Wales’ World Cup captain. The Western Mail's Gareth Griffiths reports.
"Warburton will sit out Saturday’s final warm-up match against Argentina on Saturday with Ryan Jones leading Wales for a record-equalling 28th time. But Warburton is the man Warren Gatland is expected to install as skipper when he names his 30-man World Cup party on Monday.
And he admits: “It is something I would not be able to turn down. To be honest, I feel it would be a massive surprise if I was named captain.
“I wondered if would be happen at all during my Test career, let alone now when I am only 22. I am not sure what is going to happen because Ryan is captain this weekend.
“He is an outstanding leader and has much more experience than me. So I am not sure what is going through the coaches’ minds and they have given me no indication yet. But, if it happened it would be a massive honour, and the biggest achievement of my rugby career so far.”
