Although it is more than likely that Cursham was captain in
the following match against Wales, 18 January 1879, it has been suggested by
certain sources that Henry Wace was the captain. Without the 100%
certainty, we have decided to exclude this match from Cursham's captaincy
record. |

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. |
