Siya Kolisi brazenly mocks opponents moments before kick-off
Bordeaux Begles knew they had a challenge on their hands at Kings Park against the Sharks on Saturday, but to make matters worse for the Top 14 side they had to see Sharks captain Siya Kolisi singing and dancing in front of them in the tunnel before they walked out.
That attitude from Kolisi more or less showed the contempt that the United Rugby Championship showed towards Bordeaux, as they waltzed past them 32-3.
Even Rugby Onslaught is aware that Kolisi is not really mocking his opponents, it is actually something that he does before every game. In fact, the Springboks captain is one of the most respectful players out there. But still, Bordeaux captain Maxime Lucu could be seen starting at his counterpart across the tunnel, and looked visibly annoyed.
Take a look at Kolisi in the tunnel:

The flanker had a brilliant game in his side’s victory, and produced a classy assist for his winger Marnus Potgieter, popping the ball up from the ground in the second half to help the Sharks pull away.
This was the try:
🦈 @SharksRugby are loving life in Durban!
