It is feasible that Smith had as many as 15
captaincies - but in the match against Ireland, 7 March 1896, the captaincy
remains disputed between Smith, George Raikes and Vaughan Lodge. The
following match against Wales, 16 March 1896, the captaincy also remains
unknown - although some have guessed at Smith. These two matches are
excluded from Smith's records. |
