British and Irish Lions captain Sam Warburton will make his first appearance in the tour against the Queensland Reds after recovering from a knee injury

British and Irish Lions head coach Warren Gatland has named captain Sam Warburton in his side to face the Queensland Reds on Saturday following a bout of injury.

Along with Warburton, prop Gethin Jenkins will make his first appearance for the Lions since overcoming a calf problem, as well as lock Geoff Parling, prop Matt Stevens, hooker Tom Youngs and scrum-half Ben Youngs.

Dan Lydiate and Toby Faletau have kept their places in the back row for the Test this weekend.

Lions team to face Queensland Reds: Hogg, Cuthbert, Tuilagi, Davies, Bowe, Farrell, B Youngs, Jenkins, T Youngs, Stevens, Gray, Parling, Lydiate, Warburton, Faletau

Replacements: Hibbard, Vunipola, Jones, O'Connell, Tipuric, Murray, Sexton, North
