Leicester prop Dan Cole could be an outside shot for the England captaincy, according to Mick Cleary of the Daily Telegraph.
"If strong leadership is the key to future success for England, then head coach Stuart Lancaster will have taken note of the decisive, unruffled manner of Leicester tighthead Dan Cole as he saw off the challenge of team-mate George Chuter, to win a knockabout sports quiz organised by insurers QBE in Stafford on Thursday evening.
From a fun night to serious business, Cole will be at the Welford Road coalface today chiselling away to find a point of weakness in the Wasps front row as Leicester look to continue their push into the Aviva Premiership play-off positions on the back of a recent run of good form.
Cole, 24, is a wry, reticent type, not strident captaincy material but just the sort of honest-to-goodness bloke Lancaster needs to come forward and assume responsibility if England are to mould the next generation of influential leaders on the field."
