Cheslin Kolbe has been teased about “pulling a Faf de Klerk” after posting a picture of himself in his cheeky underwear. In an Instagram post, the Springbok posed alongside Eben Etzebeth, who celebrated becoming the highest-capped player ever.
The Boks beat Argentina 48-7 in a momentous Rugby Championship victory at the Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit on Saturday, 28 September.
PULLING A FAF? CHESLIN KOLBE POSES IN HIS BRIEFS
On his Instagram account, Cheslin Kolbe dedicated a heartwarming message to fellow Springbok Eben Etzebeth.
The lock celebrated his 128th test match appearance, becoming the highest-capped player in history.
Cheslin shared a Bible verse – Philippians 4:13 – to encourage his friend and colleague.
Referencing Etzebeth’s nickname, Cheslin added: “Elizabedi living LEGEND on and off the field. 128 not out.”
While the post was sentimental, many rugby fans laughed at the wing’s choice of clothing – an itsy-bitsy pair of underwear. The briefs contained the words “Rugby World Champion 2023”.
In the comment section, Springbok captain Siya Kolisi jokingly asked: “Where are your clothes?”
Others were reminded of fellow Bok Faf de Klerk, who is also known for his undies and now even has his own label, Faffies.
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE UNDIES
Cheslin Kolbe and Faf de Klerk are not the only Boks who love to show off their undergarments.
Siya Kolisi – who also has his own line of underwear called Franklees – as well as Damian Willemse, Bongi Mbonambi, and Steven Kitschoff have all given their followers a glimpse of their brazen briefs.
