Time to call on Wood

Chris Foy of the Daily Mail gives his backing to Tom Wood as England's next captain.

"Step by step, the RFU are putting their house in order. Last week, they clarified Rob Andrew’s role and the structure around the England team. Yesterday, they appointed coaches for the Six Nations.

The bigger picture is also in hand because Nick Mallett and Wayne Smith have been spoken to as the search for a long-term management line-up intensifies.

Come the new year, Stuart Lancaster and his fellow caretakers will need to fine-tune their plans for the revised England squad to be named on January 11. They must approach that task with the other major box to be ticked — the captaincy."
