• Springbok star Cheslin Kolbe shared a reunion photo with teammates Jesse Kriel and Damian Willemse
• The post featured what fans spotted as an unmistakable Land Rover in the background
• Springbok supporters flooded the comments with excitement over the team reunion

Cheslin Kolbe, the Springbok winger, gave fans a glimpse into his off-field life when he posted a set of photos captioned simply "Reunited 🤎" on Instagram.

The post, shared two days ago, showed Kolbe catching up with fellow Springbok teammates Jesse Kriel and Damian Willemse. The final photo in the set showed someone behind the wheel of a vehicle, and sharp-eyed followers were quick to spot what appeared to be a Land Rover.

The trio were last together in the green and gold during the Springboks' 45-21 victory over England at Ellis Park on 4 July.
