Earlier this year, Raisi Erasmus made it clear that Springbok’s captaincy would remain in the hands of Siya Kolisi for a quite a future.
“If Siya is fit, healthy and best possible shape that she could be, I don’t think there will be a change this year,” Erasmus commented in one of the first team alignment camps of the year.
However, it should not be ignored that this year Springbox can do more than 15 tests alone, and Kolis will definitely not start in every game as national coaches look to manage them through the next World Cup.
And as Springbox now prepare to kick their 2025 season with a game against barbaric people on this Saturday, Erasmus has revealed some interesting insight while talking about the team’s captaincy.
For one, the Springbock Coach mentioned that Cheeseline Kolbe would serve as a vice-captain in Cape Town, and he would probably take responsibility for this leadership for the first time when Koisi has been replaced.
And although Springbox knows what they have in other leaders like Bongi Monby, Peter-Staff Do Tit, Lukhanio AM, Aben Eben Etzebeth and Salman Morat, there may be another surprise in the store in some time this year.
“I also feel that it is time to give some young blood to captain the squad in some test matches,” Erasmus revealed this week.
This can certainly bring a person like Capap Finburg-Mingomezulu or Vincent Tsituka into the captaincy equation at a point.
Thoughts to take into account another springbock captaincy idea
It cannot be forgotten South Africa led already in 61 trialsHe is currently placed as a skipper served as a skipper in 83 tests, with John, with John as the second most capped springbok captain of the second time.
If Kolisi plays through the next World Cup, however, every chance is that he will captain Springbox in at least 23 more tests between now and the end of 2027, which can definitely see him as the most capped springbok captain of all time.
It makes for an interesting subplot, especially as a cholecy to reach the 100 Test cap for springbox, also approaches the incredible milestone, which is now just eight games away.
