Johnny is definitely NOT captain material... Jamie Heaslip will be the skipper.

have been a critic of Sextons performances in the green up to now, but I think yes he should be given the armband, could be best thing that could happen to him. Sink or swim and right now I think he would grasp it and run with it. Difficult task though and could be a poison chalice. Then again how many times have we been amazed at ireland when they havce been written off before the whistle
heaslip? No bloody way, until he starts putting in something approaching a stellar game he should be happy to be on the field. Definitely time he ante'ed up again.

I dont think Sexton or Earls will ever be captain material, we wouldnt be having this conversation apart from the string of injuries, the chances of lossing 3 captains to injury at the same time are so low but unfortunately it may happen so if POC cant play then it has to be Heaslip

A good option, even though fly-half is always busy doing other things (kicks, preparations of moves, etc.).

Earls? but he's not even from Lonster. . . .

Sexton as captain is just as big a laugh as Earls. aside form victory against England in 2010 he has yet to perform as well in green as he does in blue. Munster players had to listen to Leinster moaning in Ireland camp in summer 2008 that the red meant more than the green. It's well and truly the other way around now. Count the Leinster players who perform better in green than blue.

I thoroughly agree with mcdb06 and DaveJ, Earls as captain must be a piss take! The Guy shouldn't even be near the team. A captain at any level has to be in the thick of the action so therefore it has to be Heaslip or johnny.
not surprising that earls is being considered by Kidney though. Kidney just loves 'earlsy' as he calls him. Anybody else see this article last week?

A joke that he calls Keith Earls by a nickname yet refers to every other player by their proper fill name. A coach should not be pally with his players. A coach should be feared by them. GET RID OF KIDNEY!

First I've heard of Earls being mentioned for the captaincy. Where did you hear this? From a Munster fan perhaps? Ridiculous
I'd say Sexton

I'd say it'll be Heaslip.
Earls?? Are they taking the p*ss?!
