Taniela Tupou Chats with Siya Kolisi: An Inside Look at Rugby Titans
Taniela Tupou: Hey Siya, it’s always a blast catching up with you. How’s everything been your side?
Siya Kolisi: Taniela! Good to hear from you, mate. Things are going well, just trying to balance training and family time. How about yourself?
Taniela Tupou: Same here, Siya. It’s that never-ending juggle. Speaking of training, how are you finding the sessions these days? Any new drills that have been kicking your butt?
Siya Kolisi: Oh man, our new fitness coach is relentless! We’ve been doing these high-intensity interval runs that just get my legs burning. How about the Reds? Heard you guys are doing a lot of power work?
Taniela Tupou: Absolutely! We’ve been incorporating more sled pushes and pulls lately. It’s tough but I can feel the difference on the field. Honestly, I think our props secretly enjoy pushing heavy stuff around, haha!
Siya Kolisi: Haha, I bet! It’s like turning into a human bulldozer. But hey, you got to tell me. What’s the secret behind those electrifying runs of yours? You burst through defenses like there’s no tomorrow!
Taniela Tupou: Oh, come on, Siya. You know I can’t spill all the secrets! But a lot of it is just quick footwork drills and explosive start practice. Plus, a bit of that islander power, you know?
Siya Kolisi: For sure, for sure. I’ve seen you in action. It’s like watching a tank with turbochargers. By the way, any new teammates we should keep an eye on?
Taniela Tupou: Oh, definitely. We’ve got a young winger, Jaxon. The kid is seriously quick. I reckon he’s going to break some records if he keeps up his form. How about the Springboks? Any new rising stars?
Siya Kolisi: Yup, keep an eye on Sibusiso. That guy’s work rate on and off the ball is phenomenal. He’s got a bright future ahead of him. Alright bro, I’ve got to run, literally. Training calls. Let’s catch up again soon?
