Springbok captain Siya Kolisi suffered what appeared to be a fractured cheekbone injury in their stirring 31-17 Rugby Championship win against the All Blacks on Saturday, but still managed a six-minute lap of the Ellis Park pitch taking selfies with fans afterwards.
Kolisi again showed why he is one of South Africa's most beloved and inspirational sports figures with his selfless show of appreciation for the fans despite what must have been a painful face injury.
A packed Ellis Park had roared the Boks to a come-from-behind victory against their arch-enemy.
The All Blacks came to South Africa motivated to avenge their World Cup final defeat to South Africa last year, and get themselves back into the Rugby Championship after starting with a defeat and a win against Argentina. They spurned a 10-point lead with 10 minutes remaining in the face of a fired-up Springbok fightback.
Kolisi will undergo medical tests to assess if he will be ready for the next Rugby Championship Test against New Zealand at Cape Town Stadium on Saturday.
