Let's vote for the history maker - Siya Kolisi

When Siya Kolisi closed his eyes singing the national anthem with so much verve before the Test match against England in Johannesburg, so many South Africans were inspired by that moment.

Sporting history was unfurling right in front of our eyes. Kolisi was just about to become the first black captain of a Springbok side.

That feat was achieved in style as the Boks went on to trounce England.

Kolisi's historical accomplishment last month has been nominated as one of four Laureus Sporting Moments of the Month for June.

It was a moment that has been lauded as one of the most significant in South African rugby history, and Laureus have nominated the 27-year-old alongside three other sporting moments for the month.

The winners will be decided by a public vote and the overall winner will be announced at the 2019 Laureus World Sports Awards.

Anyone wishing to vote for Kolisi should head over to MyLaureus.com and follow the easy steps.
