Springboks head coach Dr Rassie Erasmus is considering keeping Siya Kolisi as captain of South Africa, provided his club Racing 92 agrees. Erasmus mentioned that Kolisi's captaincy might end, as he prefers a locally-based leader for better interaction and commercial commitments. Kolisi has been a successful captain, breaking barriers as the first captain of color for South Africa. Erasmus may make an exception for Kolisi if Racing 92 releases him in time for Test matches. This decision is part of a major rebuild needed for the Springboks, who aim to defend their World Cup title in 2027.
