The Skirlaugh second row will be leading from the front tomorrow when the Lions finish their three-game tour with a Test match against the South African Rhinos at Vanderbijlpark, Johannesburg (3.00pm).
“I was lucky enough to tour Australia in 2008 as a player, but to do it again as captain is a massive honour,” said Wildbore.
“We’ve had a great tour so far and the lads have been very professional in all that they’ve done. We’re all now focused on what will be a tough encounter against the Rhinos, but we’ll go into the game in a confident manner after two polished displays so far.
