Siya Kolisi - it's not about milestones, but about giving back
Independent on Saturday
|November 08, 2025
BEING surrounded by his children, teammates, coaches, and the people who have shaped his life and rugby career has left Springbok captain Siya Kolisi calm and content ahead of his 100th Test match for South Africa.
Kolisi will become only the ninth Springbok to reach a century of caps when he leads the world champions out against France at the Stade de France in Paris this evening (10.10pm kickoff).
While the occasion marks a major milestone for both him and head coach Rassie Erasmus, who will take charge of his 50th Test, the double World Cup-winning skipper insists it's not about personal achievements. For Kolisi, the focus remains on honouring the jersey and making South Africa proud.
