2014 SUPER RUGBY MEDIA GUIDE STORMERS 332 CHESLIN KOLBE @Cheslin_Kolbe11 Position: Wing Physical: 170cm/79kg Date of Birth: 28 October 1993 Place of Birth: Kraaifontein, RSA Super Rugby Caps: 0 Super Rugby Points: 0 Super Rugby Debut: – Test Caps: 0 Test Points: 0 Test Debut – Super Rugby rookie Cheslin Kolbe turned 20 two days after the 2013 Currie Cup Final and he ended his debut season of senior rugby with three nominations in the annual SA Rugby Awards. Speedy and strongly built, the South Africa Sevens ace is more than comfortable on the wing or at fullback and will be aiming to make an impact at Super Rugby level despite suffering a freak knee injury during pre-season training. Kolbe has represented WP at numerous youth levels, as well as South Africa at the 2013 Junior World Championship in France. SIYA KOLISI @kolisi1 Position: Flanker Physical: 187cm/102kg Date of Birth: 16 June 1991 Place of Birth: Zwide, RSA Super Rugby Caps: 29 Super Rugby Points: 15 Super Rugby Debut: Round 1, 2012 vs Hurricanes, Cape Town Test Caps: 10 Test Points: 0 Test Debut 15 June 2013 vs Scotland, Nelspruit Siya Kolisi’s rugby career has been on an upward curve ever since his Currie Cup debut in 2011 – despite still being U20 at the time. He made his Super Rugby debut before his 21st birthday and his Test debut followed just over a year later, culminating in a Man of the Match performance against Scotland in Nelspruit in June 2013. Comfortable in any back row position, his rugby hero is Jean de Villiers. Kolisi’s 150 tackles during the 2013 Super Rugby season led the team’s tackle count, which is an even more impressive feat when considering he played just 13 matches during the campaign.
