+1. On paper he looks the outstanding candidate to nail down the
8 shirt for us but lots of variables at play given his recent
injury lay-offs.

Well if brown spends as much time this year shouting at his
teammates and sulking as he did last year that’ll be a disaster

I was much more worried about the players who weren't shouting
and sulking last season. For all the criticism you can level at
Brownie, at least he knew when things weren't right.

Totally agree but it's not going to work as captain - you need a
voice like Brown's on the pitch 100% but not as skipper.

It also comes down to position. A scrum half can always get in
the ref's ear. It's harder for the wing/FB if you have to run in
to talk to him every time.

I think Bothma would be a fine choice. If he stays fit, I can't
see him not being first choice.

Also (again I do love MB but)....he doesn't have the temperament
to talk to sir. We'd end up getting marched back when the red
mist descends.

Browny's been vice-captain for us before. Remember that exchange
with Wayne Barnes when he went to talk to him after a penalty:
WB: "You're not Captain!"
MB: "Yes I am!"

I don't think that would be the case, but this reminded me of a
time when MB took over the captaincy on the field when the
captain went off (I can't remember if last season or the one
before), something happened on the field at MB went to talk to
the ref, who told him to go away as he wasn't captain, MB was
quick to remind the ref that he was.
