Siya Kolisi first ever black captain. Good stuff. I rate him too.

Don't particularly mind who is captain. I just want the Boks to restore order and become a force again. If it happens under a black cappie then all the better.

Rassie is being made a hero by every journalist in the country so it will go wrong quickly for him if he doesn't measure up to expectations.

Even players have openly commended him: https://www.sport24.co.za/Rugby/Springboks/brits-boks-in-safe-hands-under-rassie-20180528

“Rassie is the best technical coach I’ve worked with, so if there’s someone who could do it, then it’s Rassie and his management team,” Brits told Netwerk24.

17 uncapped players, 19 or 20 "players of colour" and a promise all of them will get game time in games 1 and 2.

Young and very inexperienced.

I remember the days where neither SA nor Aus would even worry a bit when Northern teams toured here.
