1-million-a-year contract. I wonder how much Soya gets if he drops out of the remainder.

Oh god, that was embarrassing……I wrote Siya and didn’t check before I posted ! 

Apparently, SA are buying him out of his contract. The Sharks are most likely to sign him, so I read.

In my opinion Siya Kollisi is used to special treatment. Here in SA he is carried on a pedestal. It was seen at his stint at the sharks where he hardly played full games to be protected for the Boks. Rassie to this day favour’s him like he is a golden egg. The owner of Racing 92, Jacky Lorenzetti, is not impressed with his form up till now and is putting pressure on Kollisi to work harder. It’s normal that you will get a lot of pressure on you for the amount of money he gets paid. It Looks like Kollisi can’t take the Pressure and wants Daddy Rassie to help him so that SA Rugby buys him out and he can return to the Sharks again. His contract there is until end of 2026 with a pay of 1 Million € per season. My opinion show some grit Siya, do better and show that you deserve that money. Besides that is it worth spending so much money on a guy to buy him out and he will be 36 years old at our next WC? Lorenzetti is a tough guy and out of the SA guys playing there, only Habana, Kolbe and Bakkies Botha was successful there. Eben Etzebeth couldn’t hack it there either.

Totally overrated….subbed every match at halftime, because it makes no difference to the play or the captaincy if he is on the field.

Well, his chickens has come home to roost. True captain was Duanne Vermeulen and the other players like Bongi. Kolisi was just the cheer leader grabbing all the headlines. I can’t believe how over hype he is. He does maybe a few good runs with ball in hand and he is a hero. 

Racing was looking for a warrior, but we all know he hates contact. 

French people can’t be easy and they are very opinionated but they are fair if they have to pay the guy that much. 

I would be expecting much more. I wonder if he has a performance Claus in his contract?

More like Soy boy Kolisi. 

I just hope he doesn't make it to another world cup and 36. How many minutes will he play then? 10 and the let the rest of the team do the work? We need a player that can go for 100 min in a final, not a part timer. 

Surely there at better opensiders in SA

Exposed as a hyped figurehead in club rugby….denigrated by his club. Why? Because he was contributing. Get real, this man’s low wattage play has been covered by the best pack in the game. Playing for Racing in France or for the Sharks he has been a nothing burger.

Exactly his at the end…so instead of being a man and working harder ( for a shit load of money) he is putting more strain on a already Financially stressed SA Rugby to bail him out..pathetic! Every year 20 000 kids are diagnosed with malnutrition in SA and a 1000 of them die every year…So rather spend that bail out money on something worth it, like saving lives. Tell him to do a better job by the Frenchies…be a MAN and short your own shit out…he is totally over rated.

Mampara power clearly upset by 2 RWC wins where Siya was captain. 

Like other guys coming to the end of their careers there will be a phased and carefully managed handover. 

Thank goodn ess for the level head of Rassie. Can't have Mamparas running the show!

Atleast I am not a ass kisser with brown rings around my neck Beeno Biscuits : ) Pls put some proof down where he helped to guide our team as a captain to WC victories, other than just being the cheerleader?? Where it was clear to see the back bone for leadership came from Thor, Bongi, Marx, Am , Pieter and Eben! Guys that played most of our games and longer than just 20 min. If I was you, I would rather keep quiet ..proclaiming to be all about Love Brothers and Sisters, Amen….but meanwhile showing more love in supporting War…your Hypocrisy stinks! : )

All that Kolisi did to win the WC final was blow a try and get a yellow, that by game precedent should have been a red. In the prior WC final he was gone shortly after the half….Eluckmiss no doubt remembering that Francois Louw, who should have started, saved the Welsh semi with a turnover Kolisi couldn’t have made in a thousand years.

Respect the Beast, see Kolisi for the political choice he has always been.

I can't believe that forked out so much money to buy him out his contract. Man, had there been any player in the world that has been given so much support. 

To play R20 just to buy him out. Racing had a point, they had to pay the Shark to get him a d on top of that pay him a million euros per year. I would be livid if I invested in a player and then realise he was propped up to look good and is a nobody player without his team around him. 

Toulon got the most of the 2007 Boks and every player was professional. 

They had Habana, Bakkies, Joe van Niekek, Juan Smith and those guys won them trophies. Then comes Etzebeth that just use the club season to get repairs a d hardly plays, Kolisi with his moaning and Bakkies had to step in and yet got clapped because one bok can't speak out over another bok. 

Bakkies and those players are so well respected by Toulon. They were committed to the cause and ultimate professionals. 

Nope, I don't want Kolisi back.

Kolisi is a class player always has been and has been an absolutely brilliant ambassador for our side and rugby in general. You fucking idiots who keep bashing him are both rugby ignorant and you should hang your heads in shame. We have the same fools telling me how wonderful the bog ordinary physically challenged Mostert is and in the same breath tell us how useless PSDT, Kolisi, de Allende, Libbok etc are Fucking hell seriously - I sometimes wonder what rugby you lot are watching for it’s not the same as the majority of observers out there Kolisi is a great

" South African Rugby on Saturday denied reports it was going to buy Springboks captain Siya Kolisi out of his contract with French club Racing 92. "Media are advised that speculation that SA Rugby is involved in the "buy-out" of the club contract of Siya Kolisi is without any basis in fact," SA Rugby said. " SA Rugby also wishes to make clear that it is not in any way involved in any conversations relating to such an outcome should they, in fact, be taking place," it added. " Kolisi is Great " - Dave you know yourself this is not true, other then occasionally having a good carry ?? You want us to seriously believe he gives the same input as a Ox Nche, Bongi, Lukanyo Am,Eben, RG, Pieter S, Frans and Marx ??! " Fucking hell seriously - I sometimes wonder what rugby you lot are watching " - We can ask the same thing to you when it comes to Dud Allende and the 20 min wonder boy. Kolisi is a spoiled brat that is used to special treatment and is totally inconsistent in his form. He has been exposed in France and now he wants to run away….but it strongly looks like, SA Rugby is not having it : )

I do hope that we don't buy him out. 33 when there are other foreign base players that can play longer. Why on earth would SA want to foot such a steep bill. Rassie made it clear, if you want to be captain then you need to be in SA. 

Kolisi has been coddled his whole career, even from his school days he was given a scholarship by Johan Rupert that paid for all of his schooling and boarding. Ensure that he succeeded and got all the support from the private (White) sector to make him successful. No other sport player or even rugby player had so much support behind him. 

I think kolisi should hang up his boots and grab a Sp eer and shield and join those hype dancers at the start of the test match to motivate the crowd and the team. Not point in having him on the field with the whistle is blown

For a million Euros you should be able to get at least four Kolis's plus a Bavuma thrown in.

Who are the idots with all this money to waste?

Not a Captain in any shape or form.

We all know who was the actual Skipper during the last RWC and it sure was not Kolisi.

Vermeulen was de facto captain in both WCs. Kolisi led the choir. Sickening how this man has been credited with so much when he has done so little.

Kolisi is definitely better than Schalk - Schalk was a predictable battering ram at test level he offered nothing else Was only allowed to shine playing for Sarries and was never a true openside - he was too big for the role Kolisi is a class act and a great leader he proved that in the WC and in that first Irish test where he was great
