Only a handful in world rugby can rival Siya Kolisi's stature as a player and his renown: the first Black man to captain the South Africa national rugby union team in its 126-year history and the third after François Pienaar and John Smit to lead the side to the World Cup.
Next Saturday evening at the Stade de France, Kolisi will have the chance to emulate the New Zealander Richie McCaw as the only player to skipper back-to-back World Cup-winning sides.
