In the world of rugby, it’s not just about the game but also the playful antics that come with it.
Recently, Cheslin Kolbe found himself in the spotlight for a cheeky Instagram post that got fans buzzing.
Posing in some rather daring underwear, he couldn’t help but draw comparisons to fellow Springbok, Faf de Klerk.
This light-hearted moment came right after an incredible victory against Argentina, where the Springboks triumphed with a score of 48-7 at Mbombela Stadium on September 28.
A Special Tribute to Eben Etzebeth
In his Instagram post, Kolbe celebrated a significant milestone for teammate Eben Etzebeth, who reached an impressive 128 test matches, making him the highest-capped player in rugby history.
The post was filled with heartfelt sentiments, as Kolbe shared a Bible verse from Philippians 4:13 to uplift his friend.
He humorously referred to Etzebeth as “Elizabedi living LEGEND on and off the field,” marking his incredible achievement with a witty twist.
Undies and Laughter
While Kolbe’s message was touching, it was his choice of attire that stole the show.
His tiny briefs, emblazoned with “Rugby World Champion 2023,” caught the attention of many fans.
Springbok captain Siya Kolisi couldn’t resist chiming in, jokingly asking, “Where are your clothes?”
It seems Kolbe’s playful post also reminded fans of Faf de Klerk’s notorious affinity for showcasing his underwear, which has now led to his own line of “Faffies.”
The Underwear Trend Among Springboks
Cheslin Kolbe and Faf de Klerk aren’t alone in their cheeky display of undergarments.
Other Springbok players like Siya Kolisi, who has his own underwear brand called Franklees, along with Damian Willemse, Bongi Mbonambi, and Steven Kitshoff, have all taken to social media to flaunt their own stylish briefs.
It looks like the Springboks are making a statement on and off the field—one cheeky post at a time!
