    9- Valentine (I don't think he'll leave)
    10- ??
    11- Drew/Cummins
    12- JOC
    13- Cross
    14- Cummins/??
    15- Sheps

    Think I'd have to say Sheps out of all that...

    Plus if Sheps gets the VC then it could be an incentive for him to stay post-2010...

    Why is it called an Captains armband? I've never understood why. They don't wear special armbands. Do they?

    David Pockock needs to get it, with maybe Cross as well for the back line.

    Again this year Cross is making his mark.

    In Rugby365.com team of week nine:

    13 - Ryan Cross (Western Force):
    He is fast becoming the cement of the Force's backline. He is one of the most consistent of the Rugby League converts in Australia.

    Robyn: it's called a 'captain's armband' because in other sports, namely soccer, the captain does wear an armband so that the referee can spot him out of the melee!

    Here's another variation on TEF's question...."Do we need to appoint a Vice Captain?" As long as the officials know who the on-field captain is (assuming the appointed captain has left the field) does it really matter?

    “Let me put it this way, A Springbok team contains Afrikaners, Englishmen, coloureds and blacks. It has parochial foes in Bulls, Sharks, Stormers, Cheetahs and Lions. It is a recipe for war! Yet in all the years of John Smit’s captaincy, there has never been one unhappy customer, not one voice of rebellion against his leadership. He is the glue that holds the Springboks together. The man is a legend!”- Jake White

    We need a VC in the thick of the play. Sheps at full back doesn't provide this...not to mention that he is never on field because he's always bloody injured so it'd be a useless appointment. I'd be inclined to say Pocock too.
