After a game to forget at Eden Park, Rassie Erasmus wasted no time in announcing his Springbok team on Monday morning. Gone are two former captains, Jesse Kriel and Eben Etzebeth, as well as veterans like Handre Pollard, Willie le Roux, and Damian de Allende. This is not the team Rassie planned, and some big names have been omitted, Andy Capostagno tells Toby Shapshak.
Andy Capostagno has been talking and writing about South African rugby for more than three decades. He’s been my emotional support person for rugby since I was lucky enough to meet him when I was unexpectedly made the sports editor of the Mail & Guardian newspaper many moons ago.
