The choice of Sean Furter as captain was a huge surprise to the team and even to the players concerned.
Controversial Namibia coach Dave Waterston picked the robust number eight ahead of regular captain Corn� Powell to lead the 'Welwitschias' into the 2003 Rugby World Cup.
But the 26-year-old is an experienced member of the team, having taken part in the tournament four years ago.
And his influence on the pitch cannot be denied
A good runner who can make something out of nothing, Furter is always one of the first to get there when play breaks down.
In July, he impressed with a dynamic display against a strong South Africa 'A' team in Windhoek where Namibia were competitive before going down 25-9.
