Impressive first shift as captain
« on: »
Thought Stephan was deserving of MOM last night, and leading from the front does it make him the obvious choice for captain

Between him and Chis we have good young captains. The wider leadership group looking good too. But only in 1st XV still lack depth.

Defo good to stay Captain until the end of the season. He certainly leads from the front and puts in a shift and a half. I will remember his try for a long time, I was shouting at the telly when he was galloping to the line.

He also tool a lot of lineouts and stood up to the physical test thrown at him by Slater and co.

Impressive start to his tenure.

James Chisholm is defo the next off the rank. If he keeps playing the way he is, he may get some England recognition. He was impressive again last night, super physical and dynamic with the ball.

Great to see Domborant play so well too.

I'd definitely like to see him get more opportunity to act as captain to see if he's a good pick for those times when we're chasing the game rather than leading as we were yesterday. If he is, then how about him and Chisholm as co-captains & a pool of vice-captains from Symons, Smith, maybe Esterhuizen). Mix and match as game selections & injuries dictate so that we have a good pool of leadership in place even if both Chisholm & Lewies are unavailable.

Lewies definitely led from the front yesterday and put in a captain's performance, to use the old cliché. If you were being harsh you'd say that we gave away a huge number pf penalties and were lucky to not to get at least one more yellow card, and perhaps he should have been more on top of our discipline. That is being very harsh though, as the main reason we gave away penalties is because Gloucester were outplaying us for most of the game, but just couldn't finish anything off.

So yes, I agree that as first outings as captain go he should be very pleased with himself
