Springboks wives and girlfriends (WAGS) – like Rachel Kolisi – are becoming the new social media influencers. This means lucrative brand endorsement and ambassador deals with everything from car dealerships to beauty houses.
WHAT CARS SPRINGBOK WAGS DRIVE?
The Springboks are known for driving the biggest and best cars on the market, from Mercedes-Benz to Land Rovers.
But what do their wives drive?
Like captain Siya Kolisi, his soon-to-be ex-wife, Rachel Kolisi, is a brand influencer for Mercedes-Benz. Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen her post some of the classiest convertibles and SUVs.
