Rassie Erasmus has named his candidates to lead the Springboks against Wales next week, with Siya Kolisi in contention to reclaim the armband versus Ireland in July.
Kolisi is unavailable for the opening Test of the year for the world champions at Twickenham next Saturday, as it falls outside the official Test window and his French club Racing 92 are not obligated to release him for international duty.
He joined Racing after last year’s World Cup triumph and expects to relinquish the Bok captaincy as he is based abroad, yet with one eye on Australia 2027, the former DHL Stormers and Sharks skipper hopes share in the glory of a possible three-peat Down Under.
