Siya Kolisi's son, Nicholas, was captured displaying his impressive rugby skills during a game for a Racing 92 age-group side.

After leading the Springboks to another historic title at the 2023 Rugby World Cup, Kolisi moved to join Racing 92 in France.

The 32-year-old has made an instant impact since his transfer, but he recently underwent surgery for what seemed to be a hand injury.

He took to his official Instagram handle to update his followers when he posted a picture of himself having bandage wrapped around his right hand.

Kolisi wrote:

“Operation went well! Will be back soon!”

While he continues to recover from the injury, the impressive star has taken time to monitor his 9-year-old son, Nicholas, playing for the club's age-group team.

The chap scored a try, and his proud dad captioned the post:

“So proud of this one! Played his first game for Racing92. The tape on the wrist (laughing face emoji)”.

Damian Willemse, who was also part of the Springboks World Cup triumph replied in the comment section:

"I saw that Siya step there!”

Although a date of recovery is not made known, Kolisi is expected to return to action as soon as possible.

In 2023, the loose forward had to undergo intensive rehabilitation to recover from a serious knee injury in time for the World Cup.

Apart from being an ardent Kaizer Chiefs fan, Siya is renowned for his passionate love for the Reds. Rachel wrote:

“Impossible to put yesterday into words! @liverpoolfc thank you for having us! Thank you for making it possible @adidasza Fam!”
