Captain Danny ???

With Danny care being at the premiership launch today and being interviewed by the press does that mean he is the captain for the season ?

DC is at The big Stoop for the season launch. This is usually attended by the club Captains so is he our new Captain

It's not always the case. He was at the Season Launch last year as well (if my memory serves) while Horwill had already been announced as Captain.

Not necessarily. Some clubs will send whoever is available due to training schedules, etc. We had DC there last year while Horwill was captain.

I can confirm that the launch is not solely for captains. When I did it last year DC was there but not captain, I think flood did it and he wasn’t either and Anthony Watson.....

The launch is a very serious occasion

Good old Joe! I was actually watching some of the England player videos that they did a few years that he was in last night. Still funny :D

It's quite common to send someone else along, particularly if the actual captain is preparing for a match.

For example, Lancaster confused the heck out of the press by sending Tom Wood along to the 6 Nations launch because Wood was crocked and the actual (but unannounced) captain was needed for training and squad prep.

Case closed I guess with the announcement of Chris Robshaw and James Horwill co-captining for 18/19. At least this proves the captain doesn’t  have to be at the prem launch event for future seasons!

Well indeed -- I mean some would argue that was proved by the captain not being there for three years in a row now.....
