LAYLA KOLBE FLYS TO CHESLIN’S BEDSIDE

Mom of three Layla Kolbe took to Instagram to pen a prayer to her husband Cheslin Kolbe after he broke his jaw against the All Blacks at FNB Stadium on Saturday.

She also shared that their daughter Kylah won her dance competition.

Take a look…

“Here we are again. I don’t want to say too much but the enemy is definitely working overtime and we rebuke and cancel it in Jesus name. We serve a mighty miracle-working God who is greater than anything that comes against us. So today we speak the Blood of Jesus over Cheslin, his body, his recovery and our family. We declare protection, healing, restoration and strength over him,” she wrote.

“What the enemy meant for harm God can turn for good. We choose faith over fear. Always. 🙏🏽 And in the middle of it all I couldn’t be prouder of Kylah and her girls for pushing through such a long day and claiming the win to end off her dance season for the year. 🏆❤️,” she continued.

“And to the Bokke-they always seem to fight even harder when they’re thrown into the deep end. What a team. What a fight.💚💛 God is good. Always. 🙏🏽,” she added.

“Love you my love. Thank you for everything 😘❤️🙏,” Cheslin commented on the post.

Cheslin also shared a touching post, thanking his wife for flying out to him in Johannesburg.

The Springbok wing was part of the team that defeated the All Blacks 29-24 at their third Test on Saturday, 5 September at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg.

“Thank you for all the messages and support. Thank you to my wife for flying up to be here too and doing the most.
All in Gods hands and purpose. Let’s go boys! 🇿🇦🙏,” he wrote.

Won’t travel to USA

Coach Rassie Erasmus confirmed that Cheslin had broke his jaw.

“It was intense. It was a seriously good Test match in everything that it means because we were tested to our limits. Both teams lost vital players. We lost Cheslin and I’m sorry to tell you that he has broken his jaw, so obviously he won’t travel to the USA. They lost their captain, Savea,” he said.
