Inside the Scrum: A Candid Chat with Kurt-Lee Arendse and Siya Kolisi
Siya Kolisi: Hey Kurt-Lee! How’s it going, man? I’ve been seeing you putting in some serious work on the field lately. How’s the body holding up?
Kurt-Lee Arendse: Siya! It’s great to catch up. Yeah, I’m feeling good, just a bit sore here and there. You know how it is—no pain, no gain, right? How about yourself?
Siya Kolisi: I hear you. Same here, just pushing through. So, tell me, how are you finding the transition from Sevens to Fifteens? Any surprising challenges?
Kurt-Lee Arendse: Oh man, where do I start? The physicality is next level compared to Sevens. And the pace of the game, totally different. But it’s been exciting, like a whole new adventure. What helped you the most when you were switching up your game?
Siya Kolisi: For me, it was always about adapting to the team dynamics and understanding my new role. You’ve got such electric speed—are the coaches giving you any specific feedback on how to leverage that in the Fifteens setup?
Kurt-Lee Arendse: Definitely. They’ve been encouraging me to exploit the wide spaces and to back myself when breaking through the defensive lines. Your leadership skills are legendary. Any tips on how to stay mentally tough during crucial moments?
Siya Kolisi: Thanks, Kurt-Lee. I think it’s all about staying focused and believing in your preparation. Communication with teammates is key. Speaking of teamwork, have you developed any special on-field chemistry with anyone in particular?
Kurt-Lee Arendse: I’ve been working closely with our fly-half, and we’re starting to really click. Quick passes and structured plays—it’s almost like we can read each other’s minds. You’ve been around great teams; what’s the secret to building that kind of synergy?
Siya Kolisi: It’s all about trust and time. Investing in relationships off the field makes a huge difference. And speaking of which, what do you like to do to unwind when you’re not in rugby mode?
Kurt-Lee Arendse: I’m a bit of a gamer, actually. Love diving into some Call of Duty when I can. How about you?
Siya Kolisi: Ha! I knew there was a reason we got along. I’m big into FIFA. Maybe we should set up a gaming night and have a rugby lads showdown!
Kurt-Lee Arendse: That sounds epic! Let’s make it happen. Thanks for the chat, Siya. Always inspiring to hear from you.
Siya Kolisi: Anytime, brother. Keep smashing it on the field. The future’s bright for you!
