Best will captain the Lions for the second time in the current tour

By Richard O'Reilly

Ulster Hooker Rory Best will captain the British and Irish Lions in their upcoming game with the Hurricanes in Wellington.

Best has already captained the side in the current tour, having skippered the side in a win over the Chiefs.

It follows the Lions 30-15 defeat to New Zealand in the opening test at the Weekend.

Meanwhile the mid games between the two sides are in full swing.  Lions coach Warren Gatland has accused the All Blacks of deliberately targeting Conor Murray's standing leg while kicking in the first Test.

However his All Black counterpart Steve Hansen has responded to Gatland's criticism, branding the comments "predictable" and "desperate".

Hansen also claimed, as a New Zealander himself, Gatland should 'know the New Zealand psyche is about playing hard and fair.'
