The appointment of Jamie George as England's captain for the Six Nations has sparked discussions among rugby pundits. Former England coach Eddie Jones has defended George's captaincy, emphasizing his 'lighter touch' as better suited for the inexperienced England squad compared to the 'abrasive' style of Owen Farrell. This move is seen as an attempt to rekindle the fans' support for the team. Additionally, Courtney Lawes, in his column for The Times, supports George's leadership style, suggesting it is a better fit for the young team. The focus is on how George's captaincy will impact England on and off the field, with expectations for a positive change.
