Earlier this year, Siya Kolisi made history when he led the players out as the country's first black Test match captain against England in Johannesburg.

On Saturday, he'll be entrusted with that honour again at Twickenham - as the two sides meet on the opening weekend of the Autumn Internationals.

Quotas have been introduced in South African rugby, with the aim of 50% of the Springboks players to be black at next year's World Cup in Japan. South African sports journalist Philasande Sixaba discusses how important Kolisi's captaincy is to black athletes in the country, where they still face barriers today.
