Cheslin Kolbe dominates again
On Saturday, 16 November, the Springboks defeated England 29-20 at the Autumn Nations Series clash. Cheslin, who showed his skills on the field, inspired TikTok user @clint9000 to create a video edit of his talents as he dodged his opponent to score a try.
The clip also included a springbok quickly dodging a lion (which, funny enough, is the nickname for the English team) who wanted to eat it as a snack, showing how the name of the South African rugby team fits perfectly for the talented athletes.
