We can banter back and forth all day, but one thing is undeniable. Cheslin Kolbe is one of the most gifted players to ever grace a rugby field. Talent, consistency, big moments , he’s delivered it all, time and time again. Talent like his doesn’t come around often. Enjoy while… pic.twitter.com/WDjDzilK7Y

Here are some of the comments online ..
The thing for people to understand is that even when there are no tries or fancy footwork his impact on every game is still huge because the opposition plans their entire defence around Kolbe when he’s in the squad. His mere presence disrupts the other team.
Been saying this for years. Our biggest moments have cheslin written all over them. 19 wc final, pretty much won the lions series for us, try and charge down against France 23 wc etc.. top 5 player ever
The thing that impresses me most is how much he impacts a game from the wing. It’s impossible to keep him out of the game because he’s so well rounded that he has so many ways to get himself involved. I’d definitely have him in the conservation with Habana as SA’s best winger.
Miles better than Habana. Bryan disappeared in tight games. His tackling was average and he couldn’t step with both feet like Cheslin and Habana was lazy compared to Kolbe
