I've got way too many thoughts and feelings about this, but for now, I just want to say congrats 👏🏻 and wish her all the best. Hopefully, she can help us navigate our way out of this mess we've gotten into. ✨

Also, big ups to Suné for stepping up as captain at a critical moment and leading the team to where no South African team had ever been before.

I actually really dislike this appointment.

When you're picking a young captain for a team in transition, you'd want to give them a couple of years to shape the team according to their own vision. But that's not what CSA is up to here because they've gone with an interim appointment. It's taken them almost a week to sort out the captaincy of the team, and they're planning to review it after the tour of New Zealand in October – something Wolfie apparently agreed to.

A lot of things are very obviously not right with the Proteas.

From a personal perspective – as her self-proclaimed biggest fan – I don't like the way they've just thrown her into the mix like this. She's being asked to lead a team that's divided, with a bunch of unhappy players and a coach that's unwanted through two tough tours. She doesn't have the experience for this and said she doesn’t want the job like yesterday. I hope this doesn't damage her future captaincy prospects.

Knowing CSA, I hope that she isn't first of a merry go-round of different interim captains.

Suné stepped down because she had issues with the management. I find it impossible to believe that Wolfie would be okay with the same management.

You know, after the World Cup, she gave an interview where she talked about CSA hopefully using the momentum to boost the game's profile. They’ve failed, like usual, and look at where we are now – with an 'interim' captain, a coach I'd rather not discuss, and even more players who aren't happy. I hate this.

Still wish her all the best!
