Siya Kolisi, the captain of SA, is the first black man to captain his country and his is a story to inspire. From township to world cup, the boy who had to wear boxer shorts for his first trial as he had no kit. "I never dreamed of a day like this at all. When I was a kid all I was thinking about was getting my next meal."
The pressure of the world cup can do things to players: England showed nerves they'd not demonstrated before but the South African coach, Rassie Erasmus, afterwards said, "In South Africa pressure is not having a job. It is one of your friends being murdered. Rugby shouldn't be something that creates pressure on you. Rugby brings hope."
