Scotland captain Gordon Bulloch will become the third player to lead the British and Irish Lions on their tour of New Zealand in tomorrow's match against Otago.

Bulloch follows in the footsteps of tour captain Brian O'Driscoll, who has led the side in three of their four matches to date, and England's Martin Corry, who skippered the side against Taranaki.

Wales number eight Michael Owen has also captained the side since they assembled, though that was against Argentina in Cardiff before they left for New Zealand.
