A few days after being hit in the head by a rugby ball, Rachel Kolisi – the wife of Springbok Siya – has revealed a nasty bump on her forehead.
But the “first lady” of the national team has insisted the two are not linked.
Last weekend, Rachel suffered a nasty blow during the Cape Town leg of the trophy tour after a female fan threw her rugby ball onto the tour bus.
The young woman – identified as student Eva Henry – was seen trying to get captain Siya to autograph her ball. But the plan went left after it hit his wife in the head instead.

They included a trip to her favourite dental studio, nail spa, and a hair salon.
But it was her reference to a visible bump on her head that got her follower’s attention.
She mentioned a disclaimer in the caption: “The mark on my forehead is from the dentist’s glasses and not a ball to the head.”

She said in a TikTok video: “I’ve been getting hate for it. But it wasn’t on purpose.
