Reason #57 why Backs should never be Captain!
For some reason I thought it would be @booboo who upvoted that.
Probably just hasn't got here yet...
Strangely I don't have too much objection to backs being Captain.
As long as they make their tackles, don't shirk the tough stuff and don't chip kick.
Oh and they have to scrum well, be useful in the lineout whether jumping, lifting and blocking or throwing and sweeping in the 5m. Have good body position in a maul, smash into every breakdown and ruck to clear bodies. And know that primping and boofing one's hair just makes you less attractive than the rugged good looks resulting from the knocks and scars inherent from close quarter battles.
And accept they are less intelligent due to brain freeze fron standing in the middle of nowhere getting hypothermia while the real rugby players sort things out and don't have to wear pantyhose to avoid hypothermia.
Apart from that no objection whatsoever.
... oh and I keep looking at someone quoting @hooroo when I'm not wearing my glasses and thinking "I didn't say that ...". Too many oo oo s. Looks like @booboo. Great minds and all that

@stargazer It seems Read is suffering from sciatica. With luck, rest and right exercises will ease disc back into place: fingers crossed!
Sciatica killed my "career". Took 18 months 2 steroid injections and lots of physio to get right.
Prolapsed disc L5S1. Caused by dopey fucking prop who wouldn't bend down properly, exacerbated by trying to deadlift too much.
No doubt knowledge and treatment has improved in 20 years. But it wasn't straightforward.
How much is "too much"?
Speaking of deadlifting, Justin Tipuric must have the least impressive physique of any international rugby player.
