Springboks name first ever black captain

South African rugby union selectors have selected their first ever black captain, with hooker Chiliboy Ralepelle chosen to lead the Springboks in this weekend's match against a World XV selection in England.

The 20-year-old will take over from regular captain and hooker John Smit, who will miss the match.

The match will also be Ralepelle's first appearance in the South African starting line-up.
