Female fans crush on single Siya Kolisi after Rachel's crying post
Siya Kolisi has attracted a flurry of attention from female admirers after the Springboks returned to his hometown of Gqeberha. The captain of the South African rugby team is newly single after splitting from his former wife, Rachel Kolisi, last October.
Although the Springbok captain sat out the game against Italy over an injury 'niggle', Siya Kolisi kept himself busy in the lead up to the game by spending time with friends and family in his hometown of Gqeberha.
On matchday, Siya brought out the Webb Ellis trophy for the crowd gathered at the Nelson Mandela Stadium. In pictures posted on the Springboks' social media account, Siya was seen getting a lot of love from his hometown fans, including his female ones.
One image saw a fan hold up a handwritten poster that read: 'Hey Siya, I only came to C ya. #crush'.
In the image were several beautiful ladies who smiled in a selfie taken by him.
Meanwhile, Siya Kolisi's TikTok video of him happily dancing in public has attracted mixed views after his former wife, Rachel Kolisi, posted her own video of her crying amid an anxiety attack.
Rachel shared an emotional post about going through a divorce and the difficulties in co-parenting. At several points, the former Springbok WAG burst into tears. @siyakolisi There's no place like home 🕺🏾 I love being in GQ! #southafrica #gqeberha ♬ iWalk Ye Phara (feat.

While many sympathised with Rachel, others didn't believe her emotional state should influence her ex, Siya.
@vickeydouglas283: 'So he must cry because she is crying? Guys, life is not a Nigerian movie'
@nozipee: 'I'm happy he's not showing the world what it wants to see….. heal in private. They wanna see you crash out so bad'
@thembisil.e: 'Argh man, he's just living his life'.
