Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 66664, member: 636"] South Africa rugby captain Siya Kolisi marked teammate Eben Etzebeth's 34th birthday on Thursday with a tribute celebrating their 16-year friendship. Kolisi posted photographs and a message to Instagram that referenced a biblical proverb about loyal companions. The post praised Etzebeth's development as both an athlete and a person over the years they spent together. The two players have competed alongside each other for the Springboks national team while building, as Kolisi described, a brotherhood. Their relationship extends beyond professional rugby into personal territory that resembles family bonds. Supporters responded with congratulatory messages for Etzebeth and recognition of the pair's connection. [/QUOTE]
