Rassie Erasmus and Siya Kolisi go bald after final New Zealand match
Rassie Erasmus and Siya Kolisi showed off new bald looks after the Springboks wrapped up their 2026 series against the All Blacks with a 3-1 win.
Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus and Springbok captain Siya Kolisi are sporting new bald looks following the final match of the 2026 Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry series.
Both Erasmus and Kolisi took to social media to show off their new bald looks.
“The prize of a bet,” the Springbok coach wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of himself and scrum coach Daan Human.
Kolisi also posted an image of himself and Erasmus sporting their bald heads.
In his post, he congratulated Erasmus on his 100th match at the helm of Springbok rugby, during which the Boks went head-to-head with the All Blacks in Baltimore, USA, in the final Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry match of the year.
“Special day for the boss @rasrugby 100 up,” Kolisi wrote.
“Danko coach, iyabulela ilali #bleskop,” he added.
“Iyabulela ilali” is isiXhosa for “the village thanks you”.
The Springboks once again proved why they are the best in the world following their 43-28 win over New Zealand in the final match.
South Africa completed the series with a 3-1 record against the All Blacks.
