When Will Carling stepped down as England captain, Phil de Glanville was appointed captain. As de Glanville was guaranteed a place in the team, Carling was moved from inside centre to outside centre and Guscott was relegated to the bench. Such was Guscott's talent and form at the time that even Carling noted in his autobiography that it was an extraordinary decision.
