Not sure we have many whose place is unchallenged and not an international. Is Horwill’s season being tainted with the lack of coaching nouse and fitness that plagued the whole team?
I’d want to see Bothma string a couple of months rugby together before making him captain. He certainly has potential, but can’t see what he’s proved that makes him captaincy material. I’d stick with Horwill this season.
I agree Cookie , whilst Horwill didn't appear particularly effective last year , he was plagued by personal injury and a team lacking confidence in the second half of the season . He was deemed by experienced management to be good enough to skipper the Wallabies before Quins , so I'm sure he must have all the right qualities.
Bothma ( again as an International Capt) will be a future leader , but I would like to see him get a successful season under his belt and concentrate on his own game .
If Gustard is naming 2 , then I wouldn't surprised to see Danny Care in the mix especially if it becomes more apparent that his England career has stalled.
