@theferrence Imagine being on this Barbarians side getting hockied by the Boks then have to see the bomb squad subs coming on and now playing with 14 men. Wave the white flag. #BARvRSA
@CaptSpringbok Cheslin Kolbe is generational! Swagger, aura, humble, magician, hardest worker on the field, electric, team player, Springbok GOAT!
@RealityPale Cheslin Kolbe’s strength and skill shocks me every time!!! Like GO OFF#Springboks #BARvRSA
@SerenityNzo· I want to see the players name NOT sponsor’s #BARvRSA
@PRASA_Group Big love to all the fans who rode with us to the game – your energy was ELECTRIC! That pregame vibe was next level. No DNA, just RSA. Congrats to the Springboks on the massive WIN!
