Umaga captain for Lions Tour, says Henry

Tana Umaga has effectively been confirmed as All Blacks captain for the Lions Tour.

Coach Graham Henry said today: " Tana Umaga did an outstanding job last year and Richie McCaw was an excellent deputy, so going into the Lions Tour I should think that would be the situation unless we have injury."

However, there are concerns among selectors about available locks in the Super 12, with Ali Williams currently suspended and injury doubts hanging over Norm Maxwell and Keith Robinson.
