[QUOTE="Groundhog, post: 1166286, member: 50079"] Peter O'Mahony has decided to step down as Munster captain. Obviously a decision I respect, but i don't love it for Munster. No one really screams obvious captain to me right now. Murray would probably be the best choice, as he's senior, vocal, seems to have a good manner with refs, but he's not exactly a guaranteed starter right now. Beirne is a guaranteed starter, but he seems to be a slightly quieter lead by example guy. I'd have him happily if our squad was a bit older and didn't need a lot of vocal leadership and direction. Jack O'Donoghue I like as a player, but I've never really loved as a captain. Cleary has a lot of respect from the squad, but he's probably one of our worst offenders for stupid penalties and doesn't approach the ref when needed. Crowley I think needs to focus on his game and trying to make the Munster and Irish jersey his own. If Haley wasn't banjaxed I think he could do a good job. Casey could do a job if he was a guaranteed starter. Same probably goes for Niall Scannell. Kendellen has everything you want in a captain, but definitely not a guaranteed starter. [/QUOTE]
