SPOTLIGHT: Springbok captain Siya Kolisi has entered the discussion after RugbyPass revealed the latest list in their Top 100 men\u2019s players in 2025.<\/p>\n
Kolisi and fellow Springboks Jesse Kriel and Jasper Wiese are all in the section of players ranked between 60 and 41.<\/p>\n
No.8 Wiese comes in at No.57. He was among a group of Boks who finished the season with a 100% win-record.<\/p>\n
While injury and suspension curtailed his involvement in the early stages of the Test schedule, the powerful No.8 started seven of South Africa\u2019s last eight Tests.<\/p>\n
His return from suspension in September coincided with the second Test against the All Blacks, in Wellington, which the Boks went on to win by a record-breaking 33-point margin.<\/p>\n
Kriel is ranked No.53 and has been one of the most used players in an ever-changing Springboks line-up over the past two seasons. He remains one of their most important figures in defence.<\/p>\n
Captain Kolisi comes in at No.49.<\/p>\n
He has led the team 72 times and is closing in on Smit\u2019s record of 83.<\/p>\n
Having led them to five straight wins on tour recently, Kolisi (74%) has surpassed Teichmann (72%) in terms of his success-rate.<\/p>\n
