‘Sensational’ Paris Olympics come to an end, Deaf SA hails Mia Le Roux crowning as Miss South Africa, South Africa’s ‘overnight billionaire’, and Prince Harry urged to apologize for cocaine use.
“Cheslin Kolbe… you are my favourite because you inspire me. So that’s why I want to be a pocket rocket just like you.”
The winger’s first-ever career drop goal, slotted from just inside his own half, helped Toulouse oust La Rochelle 18-8 in the French Top 14 final.
Nine South Africans made Stuff’s list of the world’s most influential rugby players, including Siya in 10th, and Pieter-Steph du Toit in third.
No matter how busy you are, make sure you find four minutes to hear Cheslin describe the moment he knew the Rugby World Cup was coming home with the Springboks.
Cheslin scored a brace for Toulouse as they trounced Ulster, but his all-round game was a joy to behold.
Pieter-Steph du Toit may be the reigning World Rugby Player of the Year, but apparently he’s only the fifth-best player in the world.
They are two of the finest wingers of the modern era, but who would you choose to dot down in the corner?
Kolbe needs no introduction, and Ponga is a fleet-footed New Zealander who plays for the Newcastle Knights in Australia’s NRL, a rugby league competition.
Kolbe is the world’s most exciting winger, but this past weekend he made his first-ever appearance at flyhalf for Toulouse in the French Top 14 clash against Racing 92.
The Springbok winger is finally a proper sporting superstar, although he’s been leaving defenders in his wake for years.
Makazole Mapimpi. Cheslin Kolbe. World Cup final. Feet that have to be registered in South Africa as they’re considered deadly weapons. Need we say more?

We may have said our goodbyes to flyer Cheslin Kolbe, but over in France they’re about to learn why he was such a crowd favourite.
We all claim to have been fleet of foot back in our high school rugby days, but I doubt many of us would have made it into this ‘greatest steps’ compilation.
This weekend saw Springok coach Heyneke Meyer announce the Springbok squads for the two upcoming training camps, and there were no shortage of surprise inclusions.
