Jean de Villiers is likely to continue as the Springbok captain into 2013 after impressing Heyneke Meyer with both his leadership and ambassadorial skills during a difficult first season for the new national coach.
Speaking at an informal get-together with some of the travelling media before the squad departed their London hotel at the end of an unbeaten overseas tour yesterday, Meyer said he wanted De Villiers to carry on in his current role.
The Boks edged England 16-15 at Twickenham on Saturday on the back of their 21-10 win over Scotland at Murrayfield and the 16-12 triumph over Ireland in Dublin.
