Springboks' Cheslin Kolbe has joined his South African World Cup-winning captain Siya Kolisi in agreeing to a deal with sports management company Roc Nation Sports International.
Owned by rapper Jay-Z, RNS is a division of the entertainment agency Roc Nation and the 26-year-old Toulouse-based winger is the second rugby player to sign a deal with the company.
On their website, RNS provide more information about their operation, saying: “Roc Nation Sports elevates athletes' careers on and off the field, including endorsement deals, philanthropic endeavours, media relations and brand strategy.”
Since its formation in 2013, RNS has gone on to work with some global sporting superstars. Their clients are largely from basketball, baseball and American football, but it also has some of the biggest names from the world of football.
The Top 14's Kolbe is unquestionably one of the biggest names in the world of rugby at the moment and is a worthy client of RNS.

Nz should have won. I didn't watch the game, but the ref was at fault and the bounce of the ball and the Bokke used the Bomb squad and the Bokke slow the game down and the Bokke scrum. They should remove the scrum. The Bokke are to strong. Not fair. Nz should have won
Go to commentsWere the Baby Boks part of this game or did the Baby Blacks play themselves?🤔 That man Bin Smuth once again does a little write-up on the game and it is like 95% about the Baby Blacks🤣 Glad he ends off with the Baby Blacks were actually in cruise control for most of the game and weren’t actually playing for the win WTF🤣🤣 Maybe he was expecting the Baby Blacks to run rampant….
