British and Irish Lions

Success in the Six Nations has led to speculation as to how many of the Principality's new superstars will miss out rather than how many will be on the plane.

But prop Gethin Jenkins, whose kick-and-chase try against Ireland on Saturday has already ensured him legendary status in his own country, is taking nothing for granted when Sir Clive Woodward names his touring party on April 11 and accepts he cannot afford to rest on his laurels.

"The Lions is obviously an ambition, but it is up to the coaches at the end of the day," he said.

"You never count on it, and I have got to play well for my region (Cardiff Blues) over the next couple of weeks.

"We've got a big game now, against Glasgow away next Friday, so we will have to wait and see.

"Just being in the Wales team has been a big thing for me. To play 80 minutes of every game has been great, and I have enjoyed myself."

Having become only the ninth Welshman to pick up a Heineken Cup winners medal, Gethin Jenkins is now getting ready for his next challenge - holding on to his British & Irish Lions Test spot.

Lions skipper Sam Warburton says the lessons he and his Welsh colleagues learnt in Australia last summer will stand them in good stead for their return visit with Britain and Ireland's elite next month.

Tom Youngs has enjoyed a remarkable rise to the top of the British & Irish game but he won't be resting on his laurels ahead of his first Lions adventure.
