After finishing as England’s skipper, Bill Beaumont took up a regular role as a Rugby World columnist in the 1980s. And we Beaumont talked about the role of the captain, as he did in April 1985, he was always worth listening to.
“A good captain can influence the attitude of the players both on and off the field and get them motivated. The coach and captain are the ones who have got to make sure everything works and make sure everyone in the team is happy in their role. Both coach and captain have to be united on the training field and show a united front off it.”
