What's with naming the vice captains for England suddenly? I don't recall this ever being done before, and not quite sure of the need to do it now. And! I'm not sure I'd want any of the present vice captains to be captain.
Seems strange? Or am I missing something?

Re: Vice Captains?
When your leader could be sent off at any minute it is best to have multiple vice captains in case any may be injured or subbed..
Or maybe down to a lack of leaders in the squad he is trying to empower others to lead...

Re: Vice Captains?
Good idea imho. 2003 was built on having several leaders. Now they talk about pods so it follows that you need pod leaders. Eddie is there to make a difference and it is way of sharing responsibilities on the field. I hope it works because it may enable more heads up rugby as opposed to over coached rugby.

Re: Vice Captains?
I agree Isambard and Tigers could do worse than follow that example, especially after last Saturday's rudderless performance.

Tigers having three vice captains wouldn't have changed last weeks performance and result.
If you have leaders on the field, they will lead whether they are a captain, vice captain or neither.
