Fans believe Siya is not injured
After the All Blacks coach Scott Robertson praised the Springboks captain Siya Kolisi, some fans believed it was all mind games.
@Mark Wood “Razor knows that Kolisi will be at Eden Park because everyone knows The Waterboy is a lying shapeshifter. Last year, in an attempt to pressure the referees, again. The Waterboy stated that Kolisi suffered a fractured cheekbone from a glancing hit by Sam Cane. Kolisi was duly named to start as Captain 24hrs later – it’s a miracle !!!!. The Waterboy and his childish mind games fools noone except his own ravenous ego.”
