Springboks captain Siya Kolisi recently shared a heartfelt birthday message for Cheslin Kolbe, celebrating his teammate’s 31st birthday with a post on Instagram.
Alongside a selfie with Kolbe and fellow teammate Eben Etzebeth, Siya kept his message short but warm, expressing his wishes in a few choice words.
“31 @cheslinkolbe happy birthday roompa,” Siya captioned the post.
He chose to keep the comments disabled, a decision he’s made in previous posts as well, including one shared with Etzebeth before they flew to the UK.
