Gloucester flanker Lewis Ludlow says losing the club captaincy last season was “brutal.” In interviews, he discusses the impact of stepping down from the role, and looks ahead to the next phase of his playing career.

Ludlow also references his England experience, noting he has earned two caps. Alongside reflecting on his international involvement, he outlines his focus for an upcoming testimonial season, which he frames as a chance to continue contributing to Gloucester and to pursue a personal record.

Across the two reports, the emphasis is on the same themes: his reaction to losing the captaincy, his tally of two England caps, and the purpose and goals of his testimonial season. The coverage does not suggest any dispute over these points, presenting them as part of a broader look at Ludlow’s career and motivation going forward.
