Williams: Itoje and Warburton should start second Lions Test

Former Wales flanker Martyn Williams says Maro Itoje and Sam Warburton should both start the Lions' second Test against the All Blacks.

The Lions were beaten 30-15 in the opener at Eden Park on Saturday despite tries at the end of either half from Sean O'Brien and Rhys Webb.

Williams said: "I wouldn't change too much in the pack. I think Itoje should start, I really do.

"They won a few turnovers but I just think you need the physical presence, maybe of a Sam Warburton with O'Brien together alongside Faletau."

The Lions face the Hurricanes on Tuesday before Saturday's trip to Wellington (both 08:35 BST kick-offs).
