South African players like Cheslin Kolbe and Eben Etzebeth also have substantial followings, but it’s Kolisi who tops the list.
A Pivotal Moment in Kolisi’s Career
As Siya Kolisi prepares to depart for Paris and join Racing 92 after the Rugby World Cup, he stands at a pivotal juncture in his storied career.
His thoughts about potentially retiring from rugby, as shared in his book “Rise,” make this moment even more significant.
