Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus made the brave decision in 2018 to appoint Siyamthanda Kolisi as captain of the green and gold in the restoration of a team and a brand which had seen some trouble ahead of what would be an incredible run of success in the coming years.

To talk about the journey from Zwide to the biggest stages in the game of rugby, we have roped in two gentlemen who have watched Siya Kolisi's rise to the top.

Joining us virtually we have Thando Manana, who was a decorated rugby player and is now playing an important role as a Bulls Executive: Strategic Projects / High Performance Women's Manager, and in studio we have the award-winning journalist and comentator Khanyiso Tshwaku.
