Who should be AB captain?

frugby

@brodean Kevin Pietersen is that you?

Was going to suggest Aumua as a smokey, but bloody hell I didn't realise how old he is!

Darry looking very promising.

EdG prolly worth a look.

Fuck it, just announce Barnes as Ardie's successor after tomorrow's game.

Yeah EdG has potential.

It can't be a back. Our best captains, in my lifetime, are mostly found in the backrow. Not sure we have anyone who is a nailed on starter other than Ardie who is obvious captain material right now

As in I prefer the future captain not to be a back based on the current crop.

.....anyway, back on topic. Looking forward to Cam Roigard being named skipper. Failing that Jordie, would be good to have three AB captains in the family.

Cam Roigard.

@MN5 1987 and 1991 Rugby World Cups were won by teams captained by half backs.

George Gregan, Agustin Pinchot and Gareth Edwards all captained their countries with distinction in the Number 9 jersey.

Oh I thought @canefan was automatically blacklisting Canes players...

Nailed on starters (and ideally playing more than 40-50 minutes) are...

Doesn't matter. If you'd read the thread you'd know that @canefan said it can't be a back.

Well, a back who has played for the Canes...

Happy with Ardie til WC27 then perhaps Roigard thereafter.

Don't be coy now, Roigard is even better than our (by far) best halfback ever. He should also be vice captain.
