Cheeky Cheslin Kolbe gets his ‘revenge’ against Springboks

Posted on October 11, 2025
64

Cheslin Kolbe has had the last laugh at his fellow Springbok pals RG Snyman and Eben Etzebeth, who mocked the pint-sized star over his height.

At just 1,7m, Kolbe is the shortest Bok in the squad. The tallest is Snyman at 2,06m.

CHESLIN KOLBE GETS ‘REVENGE’ AT SPRINGBOK PALS

On his Instagram account, Cheslin Kolbe clapped back at his Springbok pals’ jibe over his height.

The winger posted a similar image to one shared by RG Snyman, this time focusing on himself. In the picture, Kolbe was fully visible, while Snyman, Boks, Eben Etzebeth, and Lood de Jager had their heads seemingly cropped out of the picture.

This follows Snyman’s IG post over the weekend, cropping out Kolbe’s body.

Kolbe captioned the new pic 1-1, hinting at his sweet revenge.

Snyman reposted the image, conceding defeat with the words: “Well played, sir”.

Etzebeth, however, continued to poke fun at his shorter colleague, answering in Afrikaans: “Jy’s kortaf” [You’re rude].

PULLING A KEVIN HART

Like Cheslin Kolbe, Hollywood actor and comedian Kevin Hart has also been mocked over his height.

The screen star has also taken a jab at his critics with similar images mocking them.

“Short kings rule”, he captioned one hilarious snap.
