Welsh Captain After The WC
It was only due to the unfortunate injury to Matthew Rees that Gatland made the inspied choice to pick Warburton as Captain.
So after the WC and if Rees gets back to where he was before injury who should be skipper. For me I would leave it with Warburton who has bee nothing less than inspirational.
I have always believed that a captain should, first and foremost do his talking on the pitch and lead by example which Sam has been doing and so did Rees.
It will only benefit us having two players like them in the side but Sam gets my vote.

I would stick with Sam, like Ryan he is a good interface with the media and comes over well. Also, i think a captain should be in a position to see what is going on most of the time during the game and not stuck in the scrum.

He is now the captain in my book and should only be displaced if and when his form/injury does not warrant selection.

Gatland has stated that he picks his captain based on them being gaurenteed a starting place.
Based on Huw Bennetts form, is Rees gaurenteed a starting place? He is under pressure at any rate.
Warburton to captain Wales at the 6Ns.

Now who would have ever expected anyone to say that?
Being serious Sam will be the captain post RWC, after all how many nations remove the arm band from world cup winning captain
