Cape Town — Siya Kolisi took his role as a family man very seriously as the proud dad was on the sidelines, cheering for his son Nicholas during his school hockey match.
Siya is currently recovering from knee surgery after he suffered a serious injury playing rugby in April, putting his World Cup hopes in jeopardy. However, it has afforded him the opportunity to spend more time with his family and he did just that as he took to the sidelines to support Nicholas.
