Watson or Ekenasio for me. You need a player who is certain to be selected, and who is reliable if not inspirational. Every time Jane Watson goes near the ball there is a real chance that something spectacular might happen, which is what you need when a side is down. Eke was reliable and ice cool in the most recent tournaments. It would also be great to see a mother taking on the role; for all the number of Silver Ferns mothers in the past, I don’t think any of them have taken on captaincy duties, and it would be a terrific model of what mothers can do if given the right support.
