“Over the years I’ve played him a few times and you always know he’s there.”
When Maro Itoje is on the field, you’re always aware of him. Whether he’s disrupting rucks, nicking lineouts, or applying pressure with a trademark “Yeah, boy!”, the England lock is a menace in the best possible way. Kolisi has gone head-to-head with him more than once — and it’s never an easy day.
DID YOU KNOW?
Itoje was a multi-sport star at school, representing England at U17 level in shot put and playing basketball, football, and rugby.
#3. Tom Curry – “The Breakdown Bruiser”
Position: Back-row
Height: 6 ft 0 in
Weight: 110kg
Kolisi said:
“I have been chatting to Tom Curry every now and then. I like to think we’re friends. He’s a very good player.”
Tom Curry may still be young, but he’s already developed into one of England’s most important forwards. With an engine that never quits and an eye for turnovers, Curry brings heat at every breakdown. Kolisi’s respect for the flanker runs deep — on and off the pitch.
DID YOU KNOW?
Rugby runs in the family. Tom is the nephew of former England hooker John Olver and twin brother to fellow professional, Ben Curry.
