Cheslin Kolbe is easily one of the most recognisable figures on a rugby field. At 32 years old, his 172cm, 75kg frame is famous for stepping and weaving its way past any opponent.
Then there is that iconic charge-down of Thomas Ramos’ conversion attempt during the Springboks’ heart-stopping 29-28 victory over hosts France in the 2023 World Cup quarter-final – a moment at the Stade de France that will live on in rugby folklore forever.
Moments like these are why he is one of the most sought-after and highest-paid players in the game. If online media estimates are accurate, Kolbe earns between ZAR15 million and ZAR20 million a year.
