Fans love Kolisi’s old-school picture
Local rugby fans praised Kolisi on social media, saying the high-earning rugby star impressed them by sharing a part of his history.
Xolisa Velem was impressed:
“What a team.”
Andre De Klerk liked the old-school look:
“The shoulder pad era in all its glory!”
So Alias also noted the shoulder pads:
“Back in the day when shoulder pads were still a thing.”
Jacques Bestbier has respect for Kolisi’s old school:
“All love for Sir George Grey creating three excellent schools: Grey High School, Grey College and Auckland Grammer (NZ).”
Miguel Andrés has some memories:
“Oooof! I remember the all-cotton jersey. Might as well wear sandpaper to the match.”
Zuko The Don likes the look:
“The long sleeve.”
Wally Hwata is hopeful:
“I hope you guys are still in touch with each other. Looking back to where the dream was developed.”
Mashobane Moruthane made a plea:
“Can we advocate that we have an adequate sport in public SA schools now that you have a platform, my brother? This is sad that most, if not all, rugby success comes from private schools. Let’s help the poor and suffering. You are HIM, @siyakolisi; you are our hope; even our education minister takes their family to private schools. It’s hopeless to our community in a rural area, my brother; I will help for sure.”
AG Jappie is impressed:
“Legends.”
viwe mzaidume remembers the team:
“This team was levels, they beat us at Selborne in 2008.”
