Boks in line for top award

15 Feb 2010

The Springboks’ magic 2009 season has resulted in a nomination for the World Team accolade at the Laureus Awards.

Last season, the Boks defeated the British & Irish Lions before winning their third Tri-Nations crown. The IRB awarded them the Team of the Year prize, and now they’re up against the Los Angeles Lakers, New York Yankees, FC Barcelona, Germany Women’s Football Team and Brawn Formula One for the ultimate award.

The winners, as voted by the Laureus World Sports Academy – the ultimate sports jury made up of 46 of the greatest sportsmen and sportswomen of all time, will be unveiled at the Awards Ceremony staged in Abu Dhabi on the 10 March 2010.

The Boks won this prestigious prize back in 2008 just a few months after capturing the World Cup.

    @Black Panther: Brawn GP – I don’t think a Formula 1 team will ever achieve the same feat again. Plus I’m a closet Man United supporter, so Barcelona can suck my left nut.

    Woman’s soccer I think gets as much interest as the Varsity Cup.
