Cheslin Kolbe Chats with Siya Kolisi: A Conversation Between Titans
Cheslin Kolbe: Siya, my man! It’s always a pleasure to catch up with you. How have things been?
Siya Kolisi: Cheslin, brother! Things have been good, just keeping busy with training and family life. How about you? How’s the European adventure treating you?
Cheslin Kolbe: It’s been incredible. The rugby culture here is insane. Toulouse has become like a second home to me now, but I do miss some of those Cape Town sunsets!
Siya Kolisi: I can only imagine. The fans there seem super passionate. Do you have any standout moments from your time in France so far?
Cheslin Kolbe: Definitely! Winning the Top 14 final was something special. The atmosphere was electric, and it was a proud moment to lift that trophy. But you know, nothing beats winning the Rugby World Cup with you and the boys.
Siya Kolisi: That World Cup win was legendary. Bringing it home for South Africa felt like a dream. Speaking of dreams, you must be living yours running around those big European fields. What’s the biggest difference you’ve noticed in the playing styles?
Cheslin Kolbe: The pacing for sure. The European clubs are quite strategic, focusing a lot on tactical kicking and set pieces. But hey, it keeps you on your toes! And it’s always fun dodging those towering locks trying to flatten me!
Siya Kolisi: (Laughs) You and your side-steps! You make it look too easy, brother. But that’s what makes you a star. By the way, how’s life off the field? Adjusting well?
Cheslin Kolbe: Life’s good, man. Trying to pick up more French – ça vient doucement! With the family here, it feels like an adventure every day. The food, the culture – it’s so rich. But at the end of the day, nothing beats a good braai back home.
Siya Kolisi: True that! There’s no place like home. Speaking of home, when are you coming back for a visit? The fans and the team miss you, and it would be great to catch up in person.
Cheslin Kolbe: Hopefully soon, my friend. Would love to have a proper catch-up and maybe even squeeze in a game for old time’s sake. But until then, let’s keep making magic on our respective fields.
Siya Kolisi: Definitely. Keep killing it out there, Cheslin. We’re all proud of you. And remember, once a Bok, always a Bok.
Cheslin Kolbe: Thanks, Siya. That means a lot coming from you. Take care, captain!
Siya Kolisi: You too, speedster. Until next time!
