Sam Warburton refuses to be drawn on the captaincy issue ahead of Wales's Six Nations clash with Scotland at the weekend.

Sam Warburton has insisted that the captaincy issue is not important ahead of Wales's Six Nations clash with Scotland at the weekend.

The match at Murrayfield will be the first time in two years that Warburton has played for his country and not skippered the side, with Ryan Jones once more named as captain.

"Getting the captaincy back won't be a motivating factor. It will just be to play well for the side," he told BBC Sport.

Warburton, who took the armband in June 2011, has led his country 20 times.
