I wonder why Dan Cole has never been touted as a potential Captain? I could see Genge emerging as a candidate.
I'm not sure Gengey speaks the same language as most refs - or even most players...
“Allow it fam, that call is well annoying” = "Stop it, ref - that decision is dubious"
“Look man, the ref. Don’t look so bait.” = "The ref will get you if you look suspicious"
“Don’t blow again ref, it costing us bare” = "Don't penalise me again, ref - the score's getting away from us!"
“I ain't trying to chirpse you, fam! You ain’t from these ends, are you?” = "I'm not trying to chat you up here, ref! You're not from round here, are you?"
“You should come chill with the mandem tonight, bruv.” = "Do join us for a pint later, ref!"
Yet another post where a 'like' button would suffice!
There have been several prop captains at international level, I suppose Phil Vickery was he most recent for England. The qualities needed for captain vary with the player but choosing the captain needs a good knowledge of the personality of the player and I don't think many of us fans know the individuals we happily suggest well enough to make the choices we do. Personally I am happy to leave the job with Tom and in his absence give the role to brother Ben.

Liked by his Bath teammates? According to their fans Blackadder is still cleaning up the "toxic" environment the Fords left behind!
Wow Bath fans are a great source, I remember when they all claimed Dan carter was about to sign and then got Donald, and Blackadder isn't doing the best of jobs cleaning up mainly because a certain person higher up is pretty clueless (I also don't rate Blackadder that much really)....
How about speaking to some of his Bath teammates before letting the fans speak for them, Blackadder didn't name him vice captain for no reason.
Mike Ford is very different to George Ford despite how much you might think otherwise.
