Conor Murray to captain Lions

Munster scrum half Conor Murray will captain the British and Irish Lions on the tour of South Africa.

Alun Wyn Jones was ruled out after suffering a dislocated shoulder in the 28-10 win over Japan in a warm up game at Murrayfield.

There is no call up for Ireland and Leinster lock James Ryan.

Instead, coach Warren Gatland has picked Adam Beard and Josh Navidi to replace Alun Wyn Jones and Justin Tipuric.

The squad flies out to Johannesburg today.
