Springbok captain Siya Kolisi, double world champion, could no longer remain captain of South Africa, coach Rassie Erasmus announced on Tuesday March 12, who prefers a player playing in the country. ” Siya is playing excellent rugby at the moment but I prefer to have my captain based in South Africa. This allows for more interactions. It’s a unique situation, I think he will play a few test matches, I imagine he wants to but I’m not sure about the captaincy “, assured Erasmus at a press conference. Appointed captain in 2018, the third row (32 years old, 83 caps) has been playing in France for Racing 92 since this summer. This does not prevent him from playing for the Boks. Kolisi was the Springbok captain during the victories of the 2019 and 2023 World Cups but the third row will be 36 years old during the next one, in 2027 in Australia.
