[QUOTE="Fa'atau82, post: 253834"] Well, basically a Lions captain should meet the following criteria. They should command the players around them, lead by example, be pivotal to the team and also first on the teamsheet and also have some proven pedigree of leadership at a high national level. Now, who would you pick out of all the players selectable for that role? There is only 2.. Paul O'Connell and Brian O'Driscoll, maybe a couple more if you are asleep at the time of selection. I mean, there are captains all over the pitch.. but only a couple who you know would be able to steady the ship. For me Parisse is an epitome of a captain. Hell, he even scores drop goals when his backs can't even kick to touch. [/QUOTE]
