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. |
