A playful imitation

A home for a champion

Dubbed as one of the highest-paid South African rugby players, Cheslin showcased his luxurious home in the Western Cape in an Instagram post.

His wife and mother of his children, Layla Kolbe, also shared glimpses of their beautiful living space while posting her morning routine.

Manifesting the moments

An old 2013 interview with Cheslin, in which the then-20-year-old expressed his ultimate dream of playing for the South African national rugby team, resurfaced.

At the time, he joined the Stormers. The two-time Rugby World Cup winner emphasised that achieving the goal wasn't about size but about one's determination and mindset.

Humbly scooping up awards

In early December, Cheslin was named the 2024 Men's Players' Player of the Year after a standout season with the Springboks, who won 12 of 13 Tests.

The rugby star expressed his honour on Instagram, thanking fans, including his father, and emphasised that the award recognised the team's collective effort.
