New Springbok captain Salmaan Moerat says the captaincy is way bigger than him and something that will inspire many South Africans.
Moerat admitted that he thought there was a typo next to his name when he received the team sheet at training earlier this week.
“It’s well documented that my father and uncles played rugby back in the Saru days. They have been there before paving the way for us professional rugby players. So it’s a massive privilege for myself and my family and it is a huge honour to captain the Springboks,” said Moerat. “I found out for the first time at training on Monday. Coach Stokke announced the team to us. Initially I thought it was a typo next to my name because it was quite small to see and then he announced it out loud,” said Moerat.
