Justin Tipuric has said that he is determined to enjoy the forthcoming British and Irish Lions tour.
The Ospreys flanker caught the eye for Wales during this year's Six Nations with some impressive performances, but he is expected to be behind Lions captain Sam Warburton in the pecking order.
Despite this, Tipuric is happy to be part of the tour.
He told Sky Sports News: "It's never nice with the captain in your position but I've had it for the last few years with Wales now.
"You've just got to keep enjoying your rugby and keep working hard and training hard more than anything. A lot of it is down to form and the game plan the coaches want to follow.
"If you look at the strength of the back row, everyone's such a good player, it's unbelievable and it's quite an honour more than anything to be involved because of the quality of the players."
The Lions will play the Barbarians in Hong Kong on June 1.
