British and Irish Lions

Windo, 38 later this month, moved to Sixways from Gloucester in 1999 and has made almost 200 first-team appearances.

He will now remain with the Warriors until the summer of next year.

Worcester rugby director John Brain said: "Tony has been really unlucky with injuries this season. However, I am certain these are behind him, and with a good pre-season he can once again be a force for us next term."

Assistant coach Graham Rowntree says The British & Irish Lions will have to be fully focussed to avoid a potential banana skin when they face The Barbarians a week today.

Three former British & Irish Lions will line-up against an England XV at Twickenham Stadium on Sunday as the Barbarians warm-up for their showdown with the 2013 tourists in Hong Kong next week.

Radike Samo, one of only two players still playing top level rugby in Australia who placed against the 2001 British & Irish Lions, will return to top flight action with Queensland Reds against the Stormers in Cape Town on Sunday.
