Social media users show Cheslin some love
Mateiyu Al Mouritân:
"Honestly, at this point, the Boks having Kolbe could be construed as having an unfair advantage over the other teams Ôo.
We should start a petition to have the actual springbok animal change scientific name from Antidrocas maruspialis to Antidorcas cheslinkolbeialis."
Henro Van Wyk:
"So closely marked all series. One opportunity and Cheslin took it and embarrassed another ‘good defender’. Take nothing away from Willie and Lukhanyo that had the presence of mind to run in to space on the counter."
Thinus Jonker:
"When he received the ball he still had a lot of work to do before he scored. Total brilliance and skill!!"
Dhirshan Gobind:
"Rassie has worked miracles ever since he took over from the disaster era of the previous coach. From the insane series win against England in 2018, appointing Siya (masterstroke), competing on NZ shores, winning the Rugby Championship after ages, the World Cup, a tough Lions tour after a 2 year break...We are blessed to have him and long may it continue. He and Nienaber are a perfect combo."
Ingrid Royston:
"How many phases before he got the ball? That was team effort. Well done to all of them. Rugby is a team sport. As he said, it was a team effort and he just scored."
"Thank you Jesus": Rachel and Siya celebrate defeating the British and Irish Lions

Her husband played an instrumental role in the victory as the captain of the national team. The Springboks beat the Lions 19-16 in a tight match that decided the outcome of the series.
