SIYA KOLISI AND ARDIE SAVEA’S PHOTO TRENDS

Siya Kolisi first shared the photo on Instagram before it went viral. It has since gained thousands of comments and reactions since it dropped online.

Fans and fellow players quickly praised the two as among the best players in the game.

Siya Kolisi captioned the now-viral post, “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another ~ Proverbs 27:17. Brotherhood.”

The two players share a unique friendship. They pay each other the ultimate respect by trying to ‘smash’ one another on the field but are like brothers off it.

Siya Kolisi, who has been delaying surgery for his fractured nose, was part of the Springboks squad that defeated the All Blacks 18-12.

The win saw the Boks claiming a fourth straight win over the All Blacks for the first time since 2009.

Against the win, Savea was the first in the queue to pay tribute to the larger-than-life Springboks captain.

‘Siya’s the man … he showed a lot of courage, obviously, playing with the injury to his face, so it speaks a lot about Siya,’ Savea said after the 18-12 defeat to the Boks.

Undoubtedly, Siya Kolisi has fast become one of the most celebrated rugby players ever. He won big with the Springboks at the last Rugby World Cup.

Against the Rugby World Cup win, Siya Kolisi went down in the history books as the second captain to lift the RWC trophy two times.

The win also saw the Springboks becoming the second nation after New Zealand to win back-to-back World Cups.

The win also saw the Springboks becoming the first nation to win a record of four World Cups in their eight appearances at the Rugby World Cup.

‘REAL RECOGNISE REAL’

After all, Savea joins a host of athletes who share some priceless moments with Siya Kolisi.

Earlier this year, the Springboks captain and his son Nicolas had a blast after rubbing shoulders with former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson ahead of his Ajax debut.

No doubt ’real recognise real.’ After Kolisi shared his photos with Henderson before his Ajax debut, social media was abuzz.

Siya Kolisi shared photos with Henderson before his debut at the Johan Cruijff Arena stadium in Amsterdam City.

Taking to Instagram stories, Kolisi posted, “Good to see you too, my brother. Congrats on the first one.”

Jordan Henderson thanked Siya Kolisi for showing up at his debut. “Thanks for coming! Good to see you, brother @siyakolisi,” wrote Henderson.
