Old news

Oct 24, 2024, 21:06

Still sad

Oct 24, 2024, 21:19

Yeah true

Oct 24, 2024, 22:11

Got money on Siya making 5 more kids with 5 more woman.

Oct 24, 2024, 22:25

Unpopular opinion…

Siya and Rassie were having an affair.

Oct 24, 2024, 22:28

Past tense ?

Oct 24, 2024, 23:25

He probably have a naaimajien in every place he visits,

  

Oct 25, 2024, 04:53

I also think that Kolisi is cheating and Rachel is maybe tired of looking after so much kids.

But there is always two sides to a story and maybe she is high maintenance and quite a handful??

Oct 25, 2024, 16:48

Damn, so sorry for them!

Oct 25, 2024, 17:55

I don't get why you'd be married when you're a top class sportsman in your 20s and 30s. The temptation must be ridiculous. Guys are guys and one can just imagine how hard it must be to remain faithful.

I'd be playing the field like a boss.

There's plenty of time to get betrothed once you're 35+

Oct 25, 2024, 18:52

"I'd be playing the field like a boss."


Translation: I'd be plucking at my tiny little gherkin more often than I do already . . . which barely seems possible . . .

Oct 25, 2024, 18:59

As soon as he cheated, I’d be divorcing him. 

Oct 25, 2024, 19:07

Hold on for a moment, maybe Rachel was the one doing the cheating?? We don’t know for sure….

Oct 25, 2024, 20:34

Didn’t he have an affair a few years ago ? 

Oct 25, 2024, 20:37

"As soon as he cheated, I’d be divorcing him. "


Agree. Infidelity is unforgiveable. 

Oct 25, 2024, 20:40

Thank you, Rooinek. 


Oct 25, 2024, 20:43

" Siya Kolisi confessed to ‘fooling around with women’ during his marriage to Rachel in his documentary and autobiography, titled ‘Rise’. " - Apparently he did.

Oct 25, 2024, 21:42

There you go then. 

I’d have dumped him there and then. 

Oct 25, 2024, 22:15

Xhosa culture allows for multiple wives...but his wife isn't from Xhosa culture.

Oct 25, 2024, 22:38

’Agree infidelity is unforgivable’….translation….Sic just isn’t very attractive to the ladies, short and fat doesn’t cut it.

Oct 25, 2024, 22:57

Far too much speculation on here with no facts

I don’t recall reading that Kolisi messed around while married - I’ve read his book but I might be wrong

I know he drank a lot

Oct 26, 2024, 02:29

It might be a case of having/discovering a different sexual orientation

Oct 26, 2024, 09:13

It looks like am amiable breakup, so I doubt betrayal of any kind...but the whole story will probably be revealed in time.

Oct 26, 2024, 09:49

LOL Blob, you might be right…no wonder he is so into Eben….he was also so sad for days on end after Eben was to “ Rough" with him during training…

Apr 15, 2025, 17:00

Apparently Siya is being a real doos about the whole thing and forced her to quit from the Kolisi foundation.

Apr 15, 2025, 17:19

Not so amicable after all then….

Apr 15, 2025, 20:50

Not sure what you folks see good about this prick.

If he was white he would never have made the Springbok teams.


Typical of the race if something moves screw it.

Apr 15, 2025, 21:02

Speculative bullshit as per usual. Media hype and bullshit


AJ you dumbfuck, Kolisi is a class player and and awesome leader, if you don’t know that you are beyond rugby ignorant


Pienaar made the Boks as a player and a great leader, last I checked he was white - Kolisi is a far better player than Pienaar ever was

Apr 15, 2025, 21:12

How does Pienaar make his way into you reply.

You are so far up "K's" rear-end that you cannot see the light of day.

Also calling people names just to enforce your replies is typical of you at best ICE-CREAM VENDOR.

Grow up shorty.

Apr 15, 2025, 21:27

Divorce is difficult...making a clean break more so....it's not unreasonable for him to want some distance...maybe it's to difficult to have her around in the foundation...we know nothing about the finer details so I would rather not judge.


And AJ, I know you and a few don't like Siya as a leader or a player, but he was the face of the collective senior leadership who won the last 2 RWCs...any pne of a few could have leaded just as effectively on the field...and they did, but the Boks wanted a black captain and it did relieve significant political pressure...and what other 6 has been more deserving the last 10 years...name him...there has been none...Deon Fourie , Van Staden and Kwagga were backups, but none of them came close to displacing him as incumbent...maybe Roos or Hanekom can be tried there this year...I don’t see Eskom making a better case this year...maybe the Lions 6 should get a look...I don’t see any others making any claims.

Apr 15, 2025, 21:41

Listen here you racist prick you know fuck all about rugby and it shows - go crawl back into your pathetic hole, you sad pathetic twat


Pienaar - you said if Kolisi had been white he would not have got a look in - well dumbfuck - Pienaar the lesser player made it


Wake the fuck up idiot

Apr 15, 2025, 23:30

Pienaar at # 6???????

Kolisi was placed in the squad because the ANC powers forced the issue same as the cricket captain.


I support many players irrespective of skin shades as long as they have the required skills and the leadership to be a captain for the full 80 minutes of the game with class and what it takes to be a leader.


Always cry racist/twat when someone disagrees with you.


Shame on you.

I am free to voice my views on this forum just as you are so suck it up puppy.

Apr 16, 2025, 00:08

Stop fucking lying you ignorant twat - Kolisi’s selection was merit and merit alone


He is a class act

Apr 16, 2025, 08:15

Ja sure such a Class Act that the Genius Coach only plays him 40 min and then the real Flankers like Kwagga comes on to turn the tide:)


Siya is there for a reason and being the greatest 6 flanker SA have ever seen, is NOT the reason……

Apr 16, 2025, 08:35

Old RooiBalls sounds like he got cheated on plenty.


Tell us about it, Rooi.


...we promise to laugh a lot, and loudly.



Apr 16, 2025, 11:57

Mpower as fucking rugby ignorant as ever


Now there is a shock


Virtually every game Kwagga has ever started for the Boks, he has been shit


His value is off the bench but you are too stupid to work that out

Apr 16, 2025, 13:21

Shut the hell up you big mouth coward….When he started at 6 he was fine, only at 8 he had 2 bad starts, that’s it….


Kolisi has been janked early from many games because of his inconsistent form…..now and then you will see some magic from him.


But not on a regular basis like a Thor for example. Siya is the first black captain with a outgoing personality and that is why he is there….fact!!


You are a simpleton with a small brain that cannot communicate properly with people respectfully…:)


The only thing I can say to you is shame, or take the advice I gave to your Butt buddy Red Neck…..


Next time you in Kruger, get out of the car and play with the Lions while they feeding….then you will see how they treat disrespect.




Apr 16, 2025, 14:10

I’m a simpleton, this coming from the retard that is clearly as thick as pigshit judging from your posts on here - wow


Kolisi is probably the best 6 the Boks have ever had and probably the best leader they have ever had but your rugby input has him as poor because he gets subbed for Kwagga early in the second half - for a dumbfuck like you, you see that as a demerit in his ability?


Here are the facts - Kwagga is a shit starter regardless of where he starts - why, because he is physically not able to impose himself when players are fresh. Kolisi on the other hand is both physical and a great link and attacking 6.


He is there to empty his tank in the first half and then make room for Kwagga who is far more impactful when the opposition are tired and the game is looser


My mother could have told you that - you retard


Give up on rugby go watch darts or something

Apr 16, 2025, 14:50

Well given we were losing in almost every knockout WC match in 2019 and 2023 when Kolisi was subbed it’s hard to make a strong case he was key to the Bok success.


To me he was potentially a destructive open field ball carrier, but Geraasmiss preferred the toothless running of Dud Toit. Kolisi hardly had any runs in the 2023 knockouts, which eliminated his best skill. As a tackler he is adequate, as a fetcher he is pretty useless. Not a lineout option, not an offloader.


And as a captain it always seemed Vermeulen was the man instructing the troops.


Perhaps his best contribution is singing the anthem where his body language is operatic…I hope his voice as well.

Apr 16, 2025, 15:08

Ah so Moz we were down at halftime because Kolisi was on the field - you are not seriously this rugby stupid are you?


After all you do know better than Marx, Jean and Schalk


Up your game Moz you have a rugby reputation to uphold


Here is a little help - rugby is a team sport played by 15 men

Apr 16, 2025, 15:20

Down because he was on the field….hard to say. Did we win the semi against Wales where Flo made the crucial turnover because Kolisi was subbed….you betcha.

Apr 16, 2025, 15:25

Flo was bog ordinary.


So given your angle the same could apply to the physically inept Mostert who also started those WC games


So by applying your logic we were down thanks to Mostert being on the field

Apr 16, 2025, 15:57

Kolisi and the knockouts:


Japan QF….it doesn’t matter so he stays on for the 80 minutes, except for a yellow card sub for the Beast


Wales SF….subbed at minute 69, scores are level at 16. At minute 76 Flo forces a turnover penalty, Pollard slots the pressure kick.


England F….Boks lead 18 to 12 when Kolisi subbed at minute 64. Boks win the remainder of the match 14 points to zero,


…..


France QF ….Boks down by 3 points at minute 46, Kolisi subbed, Boks win by a point. Kolisi’s contribution 6 tackles, 1 missed. Zero runs


England SF….England ahead 12 points to 6 at minute 51. Kolisi’s contribution 8 tackles, no runs….Kolisi subbed, Boks win by 1.


AB F….Most telling of all. It’s the WC final with 8 minutes to play. Kolbe is yellow carded. It’s a desperate last 8 minutes and Geraasmus subs Wiese on for captain Kolisi, who had his 1 run of the playoffs!


……


It’s a pattern where Geraasmus keeps Kolisi on when things are in our favor but he gets yanked when the matches are close. He shows no faith in Kolisi as a runner, his strong suit. But what’s your interpretation Dave…how does this show confidence in the captain.





Apr 16, 2025, 16:42

This Moz is pretty obvious but then again you don’t get most of what makes the Boks tick - after all you don’t rate - PSDT - joke of the decade - literally


But here goes


Here are the facts - Kwagga is a shit starter regardless of where he starts - why, because he is physically not able to impose himself when players are fresh. Kolisi on the other hand is both physical and a great link and attacking 6.


He is there to empty his tank in the first half and then make room for Kwagga who is far more impactful when the opposition are tired and the game is looser


Apr 16, 2025, 17:28

Have to disagree, the whole thing about Kwagga not being a starter was the one game he started at 8 and dropped a kickoff. As for Kolisi being physical when he bottles out of contact when the ball is on the deck, again, just a claim.


Both Kwagga and Kolisi are more impactful when the game is more open.


As for Kolisi’s contributions….I ask the same question about Dud Toit. What does Kolisi actually do? In Duds case he does make a lot of tackles. In Kolisi’s case ….a whole lot of nothing.


Occasionally something happens and he is in the right place eg I recall an over the try line defensive interception. …which seems to energize him.


But most often you never notice him. He actually plays far better for the Sharks where he is the ball carrier, which he does far better than the toothless Dud Toit. He could be a contributor but usually isn’t in Geraasmus’ game plan

Apr 16, 2025, 18:25

Rubbish Kwagga has never impressed as a starter, not once


Kolisi is the far better player given he is able to impress when the game is tight and players are fresh


Totally different players - Kolisi our best attacking forward and damn good defensively, Kwagga the pocket rocket who brings his 7’s skills to the game in the second half when players are tired and the game looser


Sooooo obvious

Apr 16, 2025, 18:56

But despite all your bluster Kolisi wasn’t there when the game had to be won, most often from a losing position. Which other WC captains we faced were subbed before the final whistle:


2019

Japan..,,Leitch….no

Wales ….Alun Wyn Jones….no

England….Owen Farrell…no


2023

France…DuPont…no

England…..Owen Farrell…no

NZ…Sam Cane….no…red card


So no side faced in the RWC knockouts subbed their captain. But we did, because Geraasmus was more confident the Boks would win if he was off the park. Normally your captain would be expected to provide on field leadership as the game got critical. That was exactly when Kolisi was yanked…..40 minutes/70 minutes….it didn’t matter when Geraasmus got nervous Kolisi was yanked.

Apr 16, 2025, 19:17

"Up your game Moz you have a rugby reputation to uphold"


Waaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaha!


I trust you're being sarcastic here Saffex.


The pompous old rugby noob who thinks two-time RWC winning coach Rassie is a useless coach and two-time World Rugby Player of the Year Pieter-Steph du Toit is a crap player . . . that same ignorant old fool has some kind of rugby reputation to uphold?


LMAO!

Apr 16, 2025, 19:25

Hahaha


Drinksbreak is taking a drink break. How many have you had today you fat lush?

Apr 16, 2025, 20:04

Well good thing Kolisi was subbed in the French game because Kwagga came on and won the game for us, winning the penalty 5m out that Eben ultimately scored the crucial try from through brilliant followup pressure, and then he went on to win yet another turnover penalty just after the restart, which Pollard slotted for 3. Chalk up 10 points right there.


Kolisi left with attacking stats of 1 pass. Not one run, not one meter. Just one pass in 46 minutes. Kwagga came on and in just 29 minutes made the same number of tackles, ran 5 times, made 18m and beat 2 defenders while winning two consecutive match deciding penalties. The difference between a player that shows up for the big moment, and one that disappears.
