Well I did Smit’s changing our strategy against Fiji. Has there ever been one Bok who has said anything about Kolisi’s on field decision making for 7 years now.
Att last something real. In his book Smith mentioned that there was no game plan in the WC final match in 2007 to plan fopr scoring of tries, The so-called White game plan was nothing other than the forwards trying to bash up and try and beat the English that way. I can assure you the same shit you mentioned as also present in the atch against Tonga ibn t he same series, Ton ga led in scoring for 70 minutes and the only way e Springboks in an atrocious performance wone was scoring of two tries in the last 10 minutes of he ame when the style of play was changed,
So the problem was with the coaching and not the captaincy. Now 18 years later White was fired by the Bulls for exactly the same reason.
By the way when Kolisi left the field on a number of occassions Du Toit took over h e captaincy - it also happened in the second test against the AB's.
The fact is that I never had any problem with Kolisi as captain. Under Kolisi's captaincy the Springboks won more trophies than ever happened since 1995. Aside from the captain there always are a strong leadership group of players in test teams and decisions are taken by the captain ogether with the team leadership cadre in any test match. On field decisions are always taken in that way and every test player will confirm what I wrote above.
