Siya Kolisi
Kolisi appreciates the power of rugby, and has the prestige,
authority and intelligence to also be a statesman, to know exactly what he is
saying and why it all means.
"It also gives this great man the impression that he is
saying exactly what he believes, without his words being golden for anyone's
consumption."
