One of the major talking points before the game was the captain's rumoured girlfriend, Rachel John, being spotted hanging out alongside other Springboks' wives and girlfriends in Dublin.
John enjoyed a quality girls’ night out with several South African rugby players’ WAGs, who have since followed her on Instagram. This comes after Siya’s estranged wife, Rachel Kolisi, appeared to respond to the rumours circulating about her ex's new romance with a cryptic social media post. It also follows the recent circulation of a photo capturing her in a close, friendly conversation with Siya at the ATP Finals in Italy earlier this month.
Reports about John flying out to Ireland further fuelled ongoing speculation that the 34-year-old and the Dutch influencer are in an alleged relationship, but both parties have yet to confirm or deny the rumours currently making the rounds on social media.
