Sam Warburton believes that Taine Basham is a Test Lion in the making if he continues on his current trajectory.
The former Wales skipper has been an admirer of Basham's for some time, dating back to his involvement with the Wales management during the initial stages of Wayne Pivac's reign.
The abrasive 22-year-old now occupies the No.7 jersey that Warburton owned for many years and the two-time Lions tourist believes Basham has attributes to follow in his footsteps.
