[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 842552, member: 58362"] As things stand, on form, yes, but I imagine that Gatland will value Best's experience and his form could improve (albeit not international form). After the autumn internationals, he'd have been a nailed on starter and on that basis, would have been my choice of captain. Based on experience and form shown in cameos, Scannell has looked the best hooker to me, but you couldn't put him as favourite to start. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Or you could spin it the other way and say that it's a reflection on how fierce the competition for test places is. There is arguably a paucity of coaches though. I don't see why the home nations should hold themselves to any different standards to the rest of the rugby world or why the Lions should hold themselves to different standards to the home nations.
