The 34-year-old received many positive comments from fans who appreciate his down-to-earth nature.
One TikTok user, @shaun.deon.denvan, said, āHe’s not just a happy man; heās someone who understands that ordinary people like us can’t always dream of travelling. But through his posts, we can plan to visit these countries in the future.ā
Another follower, @kathbeek, summed it up well, saying, āOur captain is living his best life.ā
Others also made humorous comments about his playful behaviour.
@stormybrimmbabey joked, āHaibo Siya, a grown man catching bubbles, come on captain š,ā showing the universal appeal of his joyful moments.
While @whoislillyyyyyyyy said: āHe’s living his childhood.ā
This peek into Kolisiās life comes after a hard-fought victory over Argentina, where the Springboks won 29-27 at the Allianz Stadium in Twickenham, London, retaining the Castle Lager Rugby Championship title.
After the match, Kolisi was seen walking the streets of London with teammates Eben Etzebeth, RG Snyman, Lood de Jager, and Cheslin Kolbe, sharing jokes and enjoying each other’s company.
So if the captain is not on the field, then you’ll either catch him joking around with friends or taking a sho’t left.
