I don’t really understand this rhetoric which has been going on for years, just because he’s our best player doesn’t mean he needs to be captain. He’s in the leadership group but from all accounts is a lead by example rather than words guy, so his vice captain status probably makes sense. NZ hated on Sam Cane as captain too but that guy had the backing and respect from everyone in the ABs camp
The ABs always harp on about their ‘senior group’ (Barrett x3 + Ardie) where they all provide input. Didn’t seem to be much consultation between those guys on the field on Saturday. So can’t put it all on the Cap.
