Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus is pleased with the conditioning and fitness of his team after a week of training in the capital ahead of their clash against Wales this coming weekend at Twickenham. The four-time world champions are hoping that the absence of their inspirational captain Siya Kolisi will not dampen the team’s spirit, but rather push other senior players to take on leadership responsibilities with pride and dignity.
Experienced players like Bongi Mbonambi, Eben Etzebeth, and Pieter Steph du Toit are all options for the captaincy. Coach Rassie has confirmed that a captain will be selected for the upcoming Castle Lager Incoming Tour, which kicks off on 6 July against Ireland.
