The high school says the decision to rename of Philip Field to the Kolisi Field is to honor the first black Springboks captain.


The renaming is set to take place next Saturday during the annual Old Greys Reunion week.


Kolisi attended Grey High School until matric and played in the school's first team in 2008 and 2009.


Grey High School Rector Chris Erasmus says the renaming had been mooted back in 2018 already and gained momentum after the World Cup - only to be delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic.
