If John Smit is such an awesome captain, i.e. leader, then why was he unable to get his team gelling on Saturday? He did f-all.
John Smit is nothing but a pawn, jumping to whatever the powers-that-be wants. Much like PvD.
I wonder what your definition of "playing well" is. He is playing tight-head prop, and compared to THE Beast, he is far behind on a playing and quality level. He hardly carries the ball.
Yes, he scrums and that's about it.
He was not much different on hooker.
PLUS he still LOOKS fat. I wonder what his fitness rating is compared to the rest of the forwards.
We have quite a few able-bodied captains, Victor Matfield for one, Juan Smith, etc.
I am interested to see who says he is the best captain in world rugby. Link?
