Cape Town - Springbok captain Siya Kolisi's historical accomplishment last month has been nominated as one of four Laureus Sporting Moments of the Month for June. 

Kolisi became the first black captain of a Springbok side when he led South Africa out in Johannesburg for the first Test against England. 

The Boks, with Kolisi as their leader, would go on to win the series 2-1. 

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.
