Siya Kolisi says he has settled into his role as captain of South Africa after his whirlwind appointment in June and is looking for a strong start when the Springboks host Argentina in their Rugby Championship opener at King’s Park on Saturday.
Kolisi, the first black captain of the Bok test team in history, was appointed for the 2-1 series win over England in June but says much of that was a blur given the media attention that his new role caused around the world.
In the weeks since the 27-year-old has been able to settle into the captaincy, but says overall he just wants to be measured by what he contributes on the field.
