Its well documented that Springboks skipper Siya Kolisi and All Blacks Ardie Savea have a great relationship off the pitch, not what you would perhaps expect between two players from countries with such a long history of rivalry.
In an Instagram post this week, Kolisi posted a photo of the two players together with family along with the caption: As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another Proverbs 27:17
The post by Kolisi to his 1.3million followers on the social media platform has since gone viral and gained over 140,000 likes.
Last month, ahead of their Rugby Championship clash at Ellis Park , Kolisi spoke about their relationship in detail.
On the field we give everythingThe feeling is mutual. Were very good friends. We get along really well. We keep in touch all the time and we respect each other. Especially on the field. I want to make sure I give him everything I have, said Kolisi.
