Robshaw, Wood and the Captaincy

I personally feel Robshaw has really impressed both as a player and as a captain for England. Firstly he has led by example topping the tackle counts in both England games and offering himself most with carrying the ball. He's also leads the defensive effort and never takes a step backwards. Secondly the team respect him and his decision-making and control has been outstanding, in two games were we could have easily lost.

Wood is unproven as captain and does not have the same respect from the players which Robshaw recieves. I also doubt whether Wood would get in the side with both Croft and Robshaw two of Englands better players and Morgan looking likely to step up to number 8 for the Wales game.

Therefore I feel Robshaw should be captain for the rest of the six nations as he has already done an outstanding job and should be appointed six nations captain on merit, leadership ability and talent.

who would you choose?

Wood is likely to be out for another couple of weeks, he hasn't even started training yet, so it's a bit of a moot discussion.

On a point of order, according to the the OPTA stats, the most tackles for the Scotland match was Hartley with 18.

How do you know this? The player comments leaked after the WC said:

"They selected Moody ahead of Wood despite Moodos being half-fit and Woody playing awesomely in training and in the Six Nations."

"Chris Robshaw and Tom Wood proved themselves to be the fittest, the strongest and played out of their skins in training."
