‘Savage’: Rachel Kolisi responds to rugby ball blow to head [watch]
Siya’s wife Rachel Kolisi – and the Springbok fan who injured her – spoke out about the embarrassing blow to her head, caught on camera.
Rachel Kolisi, the wife of Springbok captain Siya KOlisi, was left hanging her head in shame – literally – after being hit by a rugby ball during the Cape Town leg of the nationwide Rugby World Cup celebration tour.
The first lady of the rugby team suffered an embarrassing blow after a fan attempted to throw the ball to Siya and missed.
The Boks wrapped up their Mother City tour on Friday and will move on to Durban and East London over the weekend.
