Coach Rassie Erasmus felt the flanker had delivered his best performance of the tournament in their 49-3 win over Italy on Friday, and despite the four-day turnaround has selected him to face the Canadians in a team that contains had 13 changes.“The form is getting better and better. I put a lot of pressure on myself, and I’m always looking for work on the field and to try and do more. I just think it is better for me to keep on playing.
“But we don’t really know what to expect from their individuals, so we will do our own preparations.” “I’m just very happy to be captain, being the first black captain is not something that I keep in my mind the whole time,” he added.
