Injured and out of South Africa's 2019 Rugby World Cup plans, Whiteley was speaking at the launch of the limited edition Springbok Invictus Medal.
He'd still be my captain of choice if it weren't for injury.
@moz
you mean other than Frans Steyn!
Horse manure...based on what?. I like Warren, but he's not even the best in his position...and I'm not trying to take anything away from him, but I'll take Thor over him every day pf the week...even Eben as captain... He might have been "The One", but we'll never know.

Whiteley is a very underrated player, one who was statistically our most efficient forward last season. Is he our best leader? I don't know. I personally like Thor and Eben most in that regard. That said, I regard Whiteley very highly too.
I like him too, but he missed the bus...a few times...repeatedly...hard luck...move on.
