South Africa captain Adriaan Strauss has announced he will quit international rugby at the end of the 2016 season.
The Springbok hooker took over the captaincy of the side this year, but says he informed new coach Allister Coetzee of his plan to retire before being handed the role.
Coetzee hinted that Strauss's appointment as the Boks' 57th Test captain was always a short‑term move.
The Springboks will face the Wallabies next Saturday at 10.05pm.
