@act-crusader better captain than a few others named. Horses for courses
️Weber has started 1 test, I can’t see how he’s even in the discussion for AB captain.
All the other names have decent AB experience on top of their provincial/franchise captaincy.
Tuipoluto, Scott Barrett, Beauden Barrett, Taylor, Savea, Retallick, Coles, Perenara - all played 40+ tests.
I’d give it to Beauden Barrett. Guaranteed to start, highly likely to play 80, and has captained the ABs previously.
Luke Whitelock captained the All Blacks in his second game.

But he has legendary status….
but in all seriousness that was a game not a test match and an AB lineup that had AB stalwarts like Matt Duffie, Tim Perry, Dom Bird, Sopoaga, JTA!

He then captained the ABs in a test match in his last AB match which was his 7th test too many.

Gee that is at least 3 Whitelocks to captain at Super or international level.

I guess when you’re in your 20s and you look like you’re in your 50s coaches just naturally assume you’re mature and captain material.

Sopoaga played well in Black!
Amazing that he only started 2 tests.
A magnificent debut at Ellis Park in 2015 being one.
The other being probably his worst game in black - at 10 at Suncorp in a dead rubber Bledisloe in 2017.
Obviously a lot of focus on the Boks and Argie but i'm interested how ABs handle the Perth test. ABs often falter in these dead rubber Bledisloe tests.

It's basically a no win for us, but could offer up false hope to the Aussies if they win

BB, Retallick and Coles have all been part of the leadership group for a while. Happy with any of them in the circumstances.

I'd go with Shannon Frizell as Captain with his back-up being George Bridge.
