[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 992671, member: 70552"] As I said first and foremost he should be chosen because he is an exceptional player, who leads by example on the field. But You can’t get away from his ethnicity it is part and parcel of who he is. But in the context of a Lions tour to SA of all places it is right IMO. And no better time to choose the first black Lions captain IMO. I really do hope Gatland does not choose AWJ as captain. It would confirm his Welsh bias if he does. It would send the wrong message the squad if he does that he still retains his Welsh bias when he is no longer their manager. If AWJ is still good enough to warrant a place then so be it. [/QUOTE]
