Maro Itoje will captain the British & Irish Lions for the first time after being selected to start the non-cap international against Argentina in Dublin on Friday.

British and Irish Lions captain Maro Itoje has said they must use Friday's warm-up game against Argentina to "set the standard" ahead of their tour of Australia.

The England and Saracens second row joins an illustrious group of men to lead the Lions as they head Down Under to face Australia with Itoje taking on his third captaincy role in less than 12 months
