Why do rugby clubs have two Captains?

Question

What are the different roles of the playing captain and the club captain ?

Answer 1

The same as quite a few sports.

Captain of a playing team, well they are concerned with that team.

Club Captain is normally the elder or most capped player of the entire club.

For instance we have in our club 16 team Captains for all age groups and teams that play under the club banner.

A Club Captain and then the Commitee and President.

Answer 2

The club captain is usually the most experienced, influential, and experienced player in the squad.  He doesnt always play  but he will always be there at the groung giving encougement.

The captain is also experienced but and usually plays an integral part in the team and always plays when fit.

Hope this helps
