Lions captain Sam Warburton is out of the final test against Australia in Sydney on Saturday. The Welsh openside was taken off late in the second half of the second test with a torn hamstring.
We can confirm that captain Sam Warburton will play no further part in the tour after injury during the 2nd Test. http://t.co/KdfQKPglMc

Justin Tipuric would be the most likely replacement for Warburton with Brian O'Driscoll well-placed to take over as captain.
