For South Africa, this was never just about the rugby. As coach Rassie Erasmus said ahead of the game, this was about a team uniting a nation and giving it hope.
Kolisi, who grew up in the township of Zwide, just outside Port Elizabeth, was just 16 when South Africa won the 2007 Rugby World Cup final. "When I was a kid, there's no way I would've dreamed of being Springbok captain," South Africa's first ever black skipper told CNN Sport before the tournament kicked off. On Saturday, the man whose family did not own a television, had his picture beamed across the world after leading his side to World Cup glory.

An image of a black captain, a leader, a man hoping to inspire change.
