Welsh to dominate British and Irish Lions tour party Welsh flanker Sam Warburton is expected to lead the Lions. THEY haven't beaten the Wallabies in eight straight Tests over five years but attack-minded Wales players are set to dominate the British and Irish Lions tour party to Australia. After many months of speculation and debate, Lions coach Warren Gatland will name his squad tomorrow (9pm AEST) and it is expected to have a heavy Welsh flavour after their Six Nations victory. Flanker Sam Warburton is the unbackable favourite to lead the Lions, and will be one of 15 or 16 players from Wales in the 37- or 38-man tour party - the nation's biggest Lions representation since 1977. The dominance of the Red Dragon stems from the heavy defeat they handed England in the last game of the Six Nations in Cardiff last month. Gatland's likely Lions squad points to the fast, up-tempo style he has often stated he wants to play against the Wallabies in the series. Gatland will arm himself with two ambitious young five-eighths in Jonny Sexton and Owen Farrell, and will bring three genuine sevens in Warburton, Justin Tipuric and Sean O'Brien as well. With the likes of Leigh Halfpenny, Manu Tuilagi and O'Driscoll out wide, the Lions have plenty of potency. You have to go to Australia with the attitude of scoring points and scoring tries. We won't be going down with the attitude of playing conservative rugby or nine or 10-man rugby because we won't be successful," Gatland said.
