Cape Town — Springbok rugby captain, Siya Kolisi, made his much-anticipated debut for new club Racing 92 as they emerged victorious over La Rochelle to go top of the French Top 14 table.
Siya secured his big money move to Racing 92 in April this year and he and his family moved to France in August ahead of the Rugby World Cup.
He enjoyed some time off with his family before making his debut for his new side. Since he made his move, he has become the poster boy for his new side and has received a ton of media attention as he waited to make his debut.
Following the teams 32-10 victory, Siya took to Instagram to upload a few pictures of his support team, which included his family and friends.
“So grateful for the support from the fam❤️,” he wrote.
