The Springboks are in line for more accolades following their impressive feat of winning back-to-back Rugby World Cup titles when they lifted the Webb Ellis Cup in France last year.
The team, and national captain Siya Kolisi, have yet again been nominated for top Laureus awards.
The Springboks, who also won the Laureus World Team of the Year award following their RWC triumphs in 2007 and 2019, have been nominated for the same award yet again.
They will be up against the Manchester City Men's Football team, the Spain Women's Football team, the European Ryder Cup Golf team, the Oracle Red Bull Racing Formula-1 team, and Germany's Men's Basketball team.
Kolisi, who defied the odds by recovering from a serious knee injury he suffered in April to lead the Boks to their second RWC title in a row in October, has been nominated for the Laureus World Comeback of the Year Award.
The Laureus Awards, which honors, recognises, and celebrates the world's greatest athletes, the inspirational power of sport, and its ability to change lives, will be hosted in Madrid in April.
