What you need to know about Siya Kolisi
Siya Kolisi's journey from the streets of Zwide, a township in the Eastern Cape, to becoming one of rugby’s most iconic figures began when he first picked up a rugby ball at seven. He joined the local African Bombers club, and by the age of 12, his talent was recognised with a scholarship to Grey Junior School in Port Elizabeth.
At just 20, he made his Super Rugby debut in 2012, and a year later, he became a Springbok at 22 in a memorable match against Scotland, where he was named Man of the Match. He also played in the 2015 Rugby World Cup, featuring games against Japan and Samoa.
In 2017, Kolisi became captain of the Stormers, leading the team for two seasons before being appointed Springbok captain in 2018. His leadership reached its pinnacle in 2019 when he captained South Africa to a historic Rugby World Cup victory in Japan. He defeated England 32–12 and made history as the first black captain of a World Cup-winning team.
