South Africa coach praises history-making
World Cup captain• Kolisi adds: ‘We can achieve anything if we work together as one’Rassie Erasmus, the South Africa head coach, paid a glowing tribute to Siya Kolisi, the Springboks’ first black captain, after their dominant World Cup final victory over England.
Kolisi lifting the trophy, for South Africa’s third title, will be the enduring image of the tournament. The 28-year-old flanker grew up in poverty and revealed last week he had to travel to his local tavern to watch South Africa win the 2007 final against
England because he had no TV at home.
