[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1024479, member: 73144"] Difference being Hartley had several years of captaining Saints under his belt. Captaincy is mainly about people management - on the pitch that’s your team and the ref all the while thinking clearly under pressure and making the right decisions. Plus as someone said previously a lot of Hartley’s work was done pre match, both with the players but also managing up - dealing with Jones. Getting the best out of a diverse group of people is very difficult and there’s an inverse correlation between those who think they can people manage and those that actually can. Like any skill you need a natural knack for leadership and then need to hone that over an extended period. A national team, especially in today’s instant reaction goldfish bowl, should not be the place to do your apprenticeship. I favour Launch to take us through to the next RWC. [/QUOTE]
