"In 2021, Kolisi released his autobiography ‘Rise.’ He now brings his carefully-considered story to the screen with a documentary that has been in meticulous production for the better part of the past three years."

Excitement builds for Kolisi documentary

The stories that have been inspired by the 2019 Rugby World Cup-winning Springbok team continue to grace our screens.

It started with Chasing The Sun, then Two Sides, before MAP1MP1 and Rassie: The Official Film. Now rugby enthusiasts can look forward to Rise: The Siya Kolisi Story.

SuperSport has collaborated with Kolisi and Roc Nation Sports International, his representative agency, to bring the 31-year-old's amazing journey to the screen.

Klopp and Kolisi join forces

Liverpool, Sharks and Springbok supporters have been given something to smile about. Jurgen Klopp and Siya Kolisi can be seen together on YouTube in a series of spectacular videos. The Reds coach and South African captain have teamed up for Adidas' klopp x kolisi promotional campaign.

The videos show Kolisi being put through his paces by the German tactical mastermind. This included partaking in free-kicks, corner-kicks and penalties among other things, as well as behind-the-scenes footage of the duo.
