Sebastien Vahaamahina did not even know he was captain when France slipped to Friday's rudderless 24-19 Guinness Six Nations loss to Wales in Paris.
The 27-year-old Clermont lock has made the startling admission that referee Wayne Barnes had to tell him he was skipper late in the second half, once hooker Guilhem Guirado had been replaced.
Vahaamahina's madcap wide pass over the top was picked off by George North, who raced in for his second try, completing Wales' record Six Nations comeback.
