Siya Kolisi ties the knot - on crutches!

Cape Town - Springbok and Stormers flank Siya Kolisi and fiance Rachel Smith tied the knot in Franschhoek on Sunday.

Kolisi, who boasts 16 Tests for the Springboks, popped the question in a helicopter while overlooking Table Mountain in December last year.

The groom walked down the aisle was on crutches, having injured his ankle in the Stormers' Super Rugby quarter-final loss to the Chiefs at Newlands last month.

No! I think the smart thing to do is start again with a younger skipper ...

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
