WARBURTON TO MISS SIX NATIONS AFTER OP

SAM WARBURTON is out for up to six months, and will miss the Six Nations, after he had a knee operation. The Lions captain, 29, is currently sidelined with a neck problem, which was expected to keep him out until January. Now, after surgery to cure a long-term complaint with his knee, the Welshman could miss the rest of the season.
