The upcoming clash against Ireland at Loftus Versfeld fuels Kolisi's competitive spirit, dispelling any notion that his Springbok story is nearing its conclusion.

Looking beyond his playing career, Kolisi envisions a future dedicated to empowerment, using his foundation as a launchpad.

Kolisi's heart lies in championing the under-represented, particularly in making an impact in women's sports. He advocates for bigger support from male players, addressing the disparities in resources and recognition.

He attributed the 2023 World Cup victory success to coach Rassie Erasmus, praising the establishment of a culture of unity and transformation within the team.

Amidst adjusting to life in Paris, Kolisi remains optimistic despite the differences.

Beyond being a rugby captain, Kolisi is a symbol of hope and a champion for equality, with a vision for a brighter future. While his Springbok journey continues, his dedication to social impact promises a lasting legacy beyond the final whistle.
