[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1221291, member: 73144"] Neither’s been captaining that long. In the 6N Itoje was leading a team on the up while Ire stagnated - not all to do with the individuals of course, but the associations are pretty powerful. I guess there are a couple of things that might clinch it for Itoje. Firstly, he has 2 tours under his belt whereas Doris has no idea what it entails yet. In a short tour there’s not time to learn, you have to hit the ground running. Plus Itoje simply has a bigger standing in the world game - not to diss Doris at all, but he hasn’t got that status or appeal. It’ll probably be Tuipulotu 😀 [/QUOTE]
