Siya Kolisi was recently named the Rugby Player of the Year for 2021 following his outstanding performance and leadership.

People wanted to know why he chose to call Siya a coach when everyone knows that he is the captain of the South African national team.

Some people think Rasta has a secret talent for seeing into the future and is predicting where Siya's career is heading.

Here is what people had to say about Rasta's portrait of the Springbok Captain

@ValeTaurai:

"Was it not supposed to be Captain my captain Rasta."

@mtyeni84:

"One good thing about zol, is that your mind is always one step ahead of them the rest.
Captain and in future coach, save Rasta's tweet & come back here once Siya Kolisi becomes a coach..."

@nkosi_87:

"He is a Captain, not a Coach eish Rasta if you are not confusing us with your drawing you confuse us with your words."

@LeboMoremedi2:

"I can’t believe what my phone is telling me. Ras that man is not a Couch but Captain. Supposed to say Captain, my Captain ."

Siya Kolisi and Aphelele Fassi win big at Rugby Awards, fans praise both players

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Springbok captain Siya Kolisi took home the prestigious Player of the Year award at the annual SA Rugby Awards to cap off an incredible year for the Sharks player.

Fellow Sharks star, Aphelele Fassi, also had a day to remember as he was crowned the Young Player of the Year.

Siya was the only Springbok to play in all 13 tests in 2021, Sport24 reported.

He captained South Africa to a series win over the touring British & Irish Lions in August and helped the Boks finish the year as the number one ranked rugby team in the world.

The Boks also finished the year as the No 1-ranked side in the world.
