Social media backs Marawa's assessment
Rugby fans were quick to back Marawa's view in the comments section of his post. @Snxomani wrote:
"Unmatched, absolutely the best by a mile," while @synncube111 called Kolbe
"The GOAT of rugby…sublime."
@Reuben851846 added:
"The best with the boots,"
@Ndaba_2025 kept it simple:
"The greatest…"
One user, @phama_ii, offered a broader perspective, referencing Kolbe's career journey:
"Then another Beast entered the fore. Hanson replied by slotting him on the Kiwi Bus. Unlike Kolbe, he was never told 'he's too small he must play 9'."
The comment alluded to the long-standing narrative around Kolbe, who was reportedly told early in his career that his size was a barrier to playing in the backline positions where he would eventually establish himself as one of the most dangerous ball-carriers in world rugby.
The Springboks and All Blacks are set to continue their four-Test series, with both sides now level heading into the remaining fixtures. The next match will be played at FNB Stadium on Saturday 5 September.
