Sharp focus is on Bok skipper
The Citizen|October 26, 2024
South African rugby fans will keep a close eye on the performance of Springbok captain Siya Kolisi (above) and his fellow national players in Durban today when the Sharks host Munster in a United Rugby Championship match (kick-off 4pm).

Kolisi was in the news this week following the announcement of his divorce from his wife Rachel and the fact he has been picked to play at No 8, rather than in his usual No 6 position.

Is this new role at the back of the scrum something Bok boss Rassie Erasmus might be considering as well?

Either way, rugby followers will watch Kolisi closely, as he is set to join other Bok players in the Sharks team jetting off to Europe tomorrow for Tests against Scotland, England and Wales.
