South Africa found an unexpected pot of gold to rekindle belief in the Rainbow Nation after a thrilling trophy success at the Rugby World Cup in Japan with a team captained by unlikely hero Siya Kolisi.
CAPE TOWN -
Kolisi’s rise from rags to riches is a story that has been often told, but remains one of the more unlikely triumphs of the 2019 sporting year as he led a resurgent Springbok side to the global title to go with their first Rugby Championship victory in a decade under the excellent tutelage of coach Rassie Erasmus.
The Boks beat England 32-12 in the final in Yokohama as their powerful scrum and potent forwards subdued Eddie Jones’ side to become, statistically at least, the most successful rugby nation with three World Cup wins from seven appearances.
