Who is the most-paid Springboks player?

While Siya Kolisi remains the most famous Springboks player, not to mention one of the highest-earning players in South African rugby, fans will be shocked to learn that he is not the highest-paid on the squad.

One of the team's lethal weapons, Cheslin Kolbe, is reported to be the most-paid Springboks star, playing for Japanese-based team, Tokyo Sungoliath.

He takes home a whopping R22M a year, equating to a staggering R1.83M a month, according to The South African, and based on his performance on the field, he is definitely worth the money.
