Is Gethin the right choice for Saturday ? I for one do not think so, he is not vocal enough, although he does lead by example, I would rather have seen Alyn Wyn Jones as captain. But I for one will support him and hope the example he sets at being everywhere rubs off on the rest of the team.

I agree - Paul James should be starting.

I was thinking about this when i first heared that Gethin had got the Captains job. I was thinking is he the best for Wales? I really dont know to be honest. But should Gethin even be starting the game, especialy when Paul James as been a better player.

Paul James really deserves to be playing, i know Gethin has been in the team for a long time now. I think AWJ or Mike would have been the better choice, if not Warbs.

Shouldn't even be in the starting 15, Paul James is far stronger in the scrum and we'll need that to compete on Saturday.

I question the importance of the appointment.All senior pros are captains on the park.They all know what is going on and should act accordingly.Effectively the team is captained by committee.Captain just has to talk to media more than the others..This is the hardest part,talking to that daft Scottish woman on the touch line or Inverdale would make the job a poison chalice

Paul James has been a better player in a sense that he is probably the better scrummager (ie his primary role), but Jenkins has shown more in the loose with his jackalling etc and has actually been solid enough in the scrums.

I was just thinking as Gethin Jenkins been given the Cataincy because he is the best player for the job?

Or is this Howely's way of giving him( Gethin ) a better chance of being selected for the Lions?...... Given the fact that he is behind Andrew Sheridan in his club, and the fact that he as not played that mutch at top level.

If he was trying to boost Lions prospects Madge, then there would only have been one captain this week and last (Warburton)

We only see what goes on on the pitch and a few post match interviews. We dont see which players are more vocal and hold the greater responsibility and esteem on the training groun or in the team camp. This is what the coaches see and may be where their decisions over captaincy come from. Im sure its not about getting the player on the lions tour.
