Interesting that there's not any 'official' VC's announced. From memory, Hanro was announced as VC last year when Gengey was unveiled.
I think with the number of leaders in the squad you could have list of VCs longer than your arm! Presume with Hanro appointed it won't change regularly, assuming he will move around the back row during the season. Possibly YBY/JVP (Eddie Jones may decide that one) and Montoya may well cover if he's unavailable/rested from the 1st XV.

Who was the other non-English club captain.... oh yeah, that'd be Murphy then! :smt003

It's almost as if you can't mention Murphy's name....

Hanro the obvious choice and an excellent one too.
With regard to VC there are a number of people in the squad that could do the job depending on who is on the pitch at the time. To name a few - Montoya, Cole, Wells, Reffell, Youngs, JVP, Pollard, Gopperth, Wigglesworth

It was the Club rather than yourself.

There was more of a need last year as Ellis was almost certainly going to be away with England, so best to get his stand-ins sorted out in advance.
