This article discusses the impending captaincy succession after Siya Kolisi's retirement from the Springboks. It analyzes potential candidates within the current team and highlights their strengths and weaknesses.
Siya Kolisi has cemented his place as one of the most iconic Springbok captains, leading the team on 61 occasions. While he could become a Springbok centurion, his age (33) and the coaching team's focus on managing his workload suggest a retirement after the 2027 World Cup. This raises the question of who will succeed him. While players like Bongi Mbonambi and Eben Etzebeth are experienced leaders, their age might make them unsuitable successors.
Handre Pollard, at 30, is a respected leader with potential for a longer captaincy tenure. Siya Kolisi's successor could be a player like Eben Etzebeth, who has captained the Springboks before, or someone like Damian Willemse, a talented youngster with a bright future
