Warburton - No More Nightmares

Sam Warburton is no longer haunted by his sending off during the 2011 Rugby World Cup semi-final.

The young Wales captain was dismissed for a tip tackle on Vincent Clerc, as Wales went on to miss out on a place in the final.

"I put that to bed three years 11 months ago!" he said.

"Obviously when people mention it I'll think about it and if someone asks me about 2011 the first thing that comes to my mind is probably the red card,.

"Going into this one is a completely different scenario and that doesn't have any bearing on the way I'm going to tackle or anything like that.

"It feels like ages ago. To fans it probably feels like it's just around the corner, four years and the Rugby World Cup.

"But for me so much has happened since then individually and as a team and we've gone through so much, that experience almost feels like another lifetime ago."
