On Barrett, I used to worry about his discipline every game, but I think this season for the Saders (as captain) has seen him mature as player and leader. Less erratic which means his play has improved also.
Red card for a stupid tackle
Unnecessary shoulder first cleanouts at rucks in Tests
Good player, but he's the highest risk of getting a card in the team
I used to think that, but not anymore.
Plus, I think Ofa is a higher risk.

@Kiwiwomble said in Poll All Black Captain:
can a mod merge this with the other thread so we can have an actual Poll?
Am I supposed to vote for one, many or all?
-
@antipodean think i allowed 3 votes
-
@Kiwiwomble 3 votes was the idea

Ofa's up there with the risk, but not getting the same minutes.
Angus' upright style has a risk as well - but again, he shouldn't be getting minutes.
Nepo's brain fart in Super puts him up there, but hopefully it's isolated.
None of those guys are in the discussion for captaincy though

its was only test 2 when he did this...so i think there is still a risk

Didn’t get carded so nothing to see, if we are taking the Matfield approach…

Da fuq is going on in this thread? If Cane is apparently not a viable candidate due to his form/play how are some of you fools picking Taylor? Of all the ABs he's had the biggest form drop off - he went from the sublime to cabbage.
As @dogmeat notes we don't really have an outstanding candidate at the moment.

Yeah I wonder if it is injury, overwork or a loss in confidence but he should be given a break.

You are too kind! No, you are! It isn't just the speed of the game: tackling runners next to him, throwing to his own team, passing, ... all have passed him by....
