Owen Farrell 's recent absence from the England team has forced a rethink over who's most suited to captain the team, and Sir Clive Woodward has arrived at Maro Itoje as his optimal solution.
Saracens star Farrell was ruled out of this year's Six Nations after he was forced to undergo ankle surgery on the eve of the competition.
Courtney Lawes stood in to lead the team when Farrell was sidelined in November, but his own setback means Sale talisman Tom Curry has skippered the side in the opening two rounds of the Six Nations.
