Published:

Chris Robshaw is the favourite to replace Lewis Moody and become the next England captain according to Ladbrokes.

The Harlequins captain is a 3/1 chance to lead the national side out on the first match of the 2012 Six Nations tournament. Dylan Hartley is the second favourite at 4/1 along with fellow East Midland players Tom Croft (6/1) and Tom Wood (8/1) providing stiff competition.

Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said: “England need a fresh leader and it’s a safe bet that senior players will be overlooked after the World Cup debacle.”
