When Sam Warburton was 16, he was given a Lions replica jersey during the 2005 tour to New Zealand. For a while, it was his pride and joy, until he took it off and vowed: 'The next one I have to wear will be a proper one.' Eight years later, Warburton got his chance to don the famous red jersey again - and this time it was for real. Not only that, he set off to Australia in the summer of 2013 as the captain of the team.

In Lions Triumphant, Warburton provides a compelling inside account of the thrilling tour of Australia where he led his team to a 2-1 series victory - the first time the Lions had won since 1997. From the build-up to the selection of the squad, when a magnificent Wales performance in the Six Nations decider against England helped him to gain the captaincy, to Warburton's frustration as injury left him on the sidelines at the start of the tour, we follow him every step of the way.

Packed with behind-the-scenes anecdotes and revealing insights, Warburton takes us to the heart of the action as two nerve-shredding Tests went to the final kick, before the Lions emphatically won the deciding match and Warburton secured his place in Lions history. Despite the team's success, there was controversy and the constant glare of media pressure throughout - but Warburton's calm leadership helped maintain the focus on what it was all about: writing another great chapter in the 125-year history of the Lions.
