Eben Etzebeth has jokingly called out Springbok captain Siya Kolisi for “DMing” his wife, Anlia.
The banter between the rugby besties was revealed in a recent interview with SuperSport.

EBEN ETZEBETH JOKINGLY SCOLDS SIYA KOLISI
In a special feature on SuperSport, Siya Kolisi took his pal Eben Etzebeth “down memory lane” and reflected on milestones in his career.
The duo – who are known for their banter and bromance – laughed and joked over the times together both on and off the pitch.
Eben then discussed his 100th test appearance, which occurred at Cape Town’s DHL Stadium in a game against Wales.
Ahead of the match, Eben’s now-wife, Anlia, was chosen to sing a rendition of the national anthem. According to the towing lock, his partner’s surprise performance had him in floods of emotion.
“A week before that game, she hinted that something might happen,” he said.
He added of the tribute to him: “It was unreal.”
Siya Kolisi then interjected: “I knew, because I was behind the scenes,” to which Eben responded: “You DMed my wife.”
Siya then jokingly answered: “I didn’t ask you if I could slide in there.”
The pals went on to embrace after getting sentimental about their friendship.
Siya added: “There have been many great Springboks that I’ve walked this journey with. But in my eyes, you’re going to be the greatest of all time”.
According to Marike, Siya approached her about wearing one of his favourite swimwear and underwear brands, Franklees.
Marike then demanded an apology from Rachel after she claimed she was “slut-shamed” by the public. She also alleged that she had received alarming threats and had to utilise a bodyguard.
Rachel – who deleted her Twitter account and temporarily disabled her Instagram – did not respond to social media storm.
