Springbok WAGS Rachel Kolisi, Layla Kolbe, and Anlia Etzebeth reunited this past weekend for the South Africa vs Ireland Test in Pretoria.
Rachel Kolisi, wife of Springbok captain Siya Kolisi, shared an Instagram post on Saturday, July 6, celebrating the reunion with the national team Wives and Girlfriends (WAGS).
SPRINGBOK WAGS REUNITE
The Springbok WAGS have officially reunited after months apart, living in different countries. Rachel Kolisi posted a carousel of photos from the South Africa versus Ireland match on Saturday, where the world champion Springboks defeated Ireland 27-20 at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria.
The photos featured Rachel, Siya, and their children Nicholas (9) and Keziah (6) alongside Cheslin and Layla Kolbe with their children, Kylah and Mila Sky, and Eben and Anlia Etzebeth with their newborn baby. The Etzebeths welcomed their first child in January.
Take a look…
“A Saturday full of my favorite things ????????. Also the sweetest girl gang reunited ❤️,” read the caption. Anlia commented, “LOVE????????????.”
Currently, Siya and Rachel and their kids live in Paris, France, having relocated from Durban after Siya joined the Paris-based Top 14 side Racing 92. Rachel revealed that she and the kids are in South Africa for the next eight weeks.
Meanwhile, Cheslin Kolbe plays for Tokyo Sungoliath in Japan Rugby League One, but his wife and three kids appear to have returned to South Africa. Eben Etzebeth plays for the Sharks in KwaZulu-Natal.
