Flanker Siya Kolisi will become South Africa's first black Test captain in the three-match series against England next month. -
@kiwimurph Good decision. He's been good for the Sharks and along with du Preez, easy selection for the Boks.
-
@antipodean Kolisi plays for the Stormers. But yes - well deserved - he's been a very good player for a long time. Seems like a top bloke too.

What position does he play?

@hooroo err why?
because I thought he was a winger
Kolisi has over 100 Stormers caps and has played nearly 30 tests.....

Excellent. Good for him. Sounds as though he has enough experience to be captain.

Normally it would be Ireland, but Australia are now getting my pity support.
Definitely South Africa. I really want them to get past the quota era, really hoping their players whatever their colour are now good enough and their coach can coach without one hand behind his back and one eye on the daggers.Wales v Arg, I don't mind. Probably leaning Argentina for SANZAAR reasons.

Neither, SA, Argentina.

i just hope all 3 series go to a decider (yes, that includes us dropping a game). Wait, 4, i guess Wales v Argentina will count.
I kinda want Ireland to roll the Aussies as i like the idea of us not being favourites at the next World Cup. But then if the Aussies get done up 0-3 it might be the absolute death of Australian rugby.
World rugby needs the Boks to be a force, so be nice to see them get up. No one needs a strong England, so watching Eddies chariot continue to roll off the road would be pretty funny.
Be nice to see the Frogs turn up and show something.
Argentina absolutely need to show something v Wales.

Australia - ever since the arm flapping days of Peter Stringer and BOD's near death experience, I've completely gone of the Irish. I'd also like Aussie rugby to improve and I'd say they're underdogs.
Got to be SA. England rugby is the spoiled kid with all the gear and no idea
Wales every time. They're are my second team. The Argies were Nazi sympathisers and bring football bullshit to rugby.
I'm really looking forward to these series and hope they're all on Sky

Australia, because it's beneficial to NZ if the Aussies improve and are competitive (but not too much).
SA, because it's beneficial to NZ if the Saffas improve and are competitive (ditto).
Argentina, because it's beneficial to NZ if the Argies improve and are competitive (ditto 2x).
New Zealand, because I'd like the All Blacks to improve and have the best possible prep for the 2019 RWCl
