Former British and Irish Lions winger Ugo Monye says coach Warren Gatland should consider appointing a 鈥榯our captain鈥� before deciding on a skipper to lead the Test team for the series against New Zealand.

Wales forward Alun Wyn Jones is one player who has been earmarked as a potential skipper, but Monye says with no player yet guaranteed a place in the starting XV, Gatland should bide his time.

鈥淚f I was Warren Gatland I鈥檇 pick a tour captain,鈥� he said.

鈥淵ou鈥檝e seven weeks out there and four weeks before you play a Test match.

鈥淚鈥檇 pick someone with the experience of Alun Wyn Jones, I think Owen Farrell鈥檚 name comes into it, Rory Best and Dylan Hartley.

鈥淵ou might emerge as leader on that tour and when you get to the Test matches, then pick your Test captain,鈥� Monye added.
