[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 539893, member: 39190"] Speaking of captains, I just read that HM apparently indicated that JdV will continue his captaincy next year... I'm not sure how I feel about this TBH. I guess I'm hoping some of our young centers play so well that they can't be ignored. Who to take over the captaincy though remains a question. F Louw maybe? Who are the guys that are pretty much assured of their place looking forard? Bismarck too hotheaded and possibly Strauss is putting him under pressure (which can only be a good thing!)? Etzebeth too young? Vermeulen, Coetzee and Alberts don't exactly scream captain and blindside and no.8 is a position in SA where any number of guys might force their way into the squad. There is still a race on for positions in the halves... JdV isn't the best in his position IMO and it just seems a bit counterintuitive for your captain to be an outback.
