'It would be pretty special' - Chessum on England captaincy links

Ollie Chessum says that he relishes being an on-pitch leader after being tipped as a long-term successor to England skipper Maro Itoje.

Chessum, who captains Prem table-toppers Leicester and toured Australia with the British and Irish Lions last year, has become a key part of England's pack, able to operate in both the second row and at blindside flanker.

"While it's nice that people can tickle your ego a little bit and give you that compliment and I do really enjoy the leadership side of the game, it's certainly not one for now," Chessum told BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast.
