After Eben Etzebeth combined a paid post with having a go at his skipper Siya Kolisi it seems Rachel Kolisi is also in on the act.

It seems that the skipper isn’t only getting into the ears of referees but he is also giving his teammates and family members a hard time.

Rachel Kolisi joins in trolling Siya

On the original post Etzebeth is seen seated with the captain himself, seemingly chatting away to him, but the towering lock has got a pair of noise-cancelling headphones on.

“Thank you @bowerswilkins for these Noise Cancelling Earphones. Great way to block out any unwanted sounds,” Etzebeth wrote.

It wasn’t long before Rachel was on the post asking where she could get a pair.

What’s next for the Springboks

Springbok assistant coach Felix Jones expects a workout for his charges from Romania on Sunday.

“We’ll treat the match against Romania as we do every other game,” said Jones.

“The most important thing is to give ourselves an opportunity to win the match and then we’ll see how things pan out.

“Their coach spoke directly to their fans at home after their last match and said they wanted to make their nation proud. They are a passionate team, and they won’t take a step back in their physicality. They also have good backs and an impressive distance kicking game, so there are plenty of threats they pose.”

Will Etzbeth and Kolisi be rested?

Jones hinted at rest for a few important players, which may mean that we don’t see Etzebeth or Kolisi in the starting lineup.

More than likely Deon Fourie will slot in at six while Etzebeth also nurses an injury which will keep him out of action for 10-12 days.

“One of the big focus areas for us this year has been to manage player load,” said Jones. “Obviously, we want to win every week, but we have a quality squad in which the players are pushing one another for places, so we may make a few rotations.

“It’s important for us to balance the load, so should we progress in the competition we have a squad that is match fit, which will allow us to call on any player at any time when we need them.”
