BERLIN –The Springboks have done it again! After conquering the rugby arena by winning the World Cup in Japan last November, Siya Kolisi’s side were chosen as the Team of the Year at the Laureus World Sports Awards in Berlin on Monday night. The 2019 Boks follow in the footsteps of the class of 2007, who also won the World Cup and claimed the Laureus award in 2008. The only other rugby outfits to have been chosen are England in 2004 and the All Blacks in 2016.
South Africa faced tough competition on the night at the Verti Music Hall from Liverpool, who had won the Champions League, Formula One winners Mercedes, the US Women’s Football team, and two from basketball: the Toronto Raptors and Spain’s men’s national side. The Boks beat England 32-12 in the World Cup final in Yokohama on November 2 last year, and it was made all the more memorable when Kolisi lifted the Webb Ellis Cup, as he was the first black Springbok captain.— Ashfak Mohamed February 17, 2020
