Diminutive Bok winger Cheslin Kolbe did it all in Toulouse’s 83-6 thrashing of Pau on Saturday, including packing down at No 8 before setting up a try.
According to some of the stats from Toulouse’s one-sided victory in the Top14, Kolbe finished the game with two tries, 204m gained, 16 defenders beaten and four clean breaks.
In addition, he even had to pack down at No 8 in one instance, but that didn’t stop him from providing a try assist, as seen below.

Kolbe featured in seven Tests for the Springboks last year, and is well placed to book his ticket to the World Cup in Japan later this year.
Below, you can see him finish off one of the tries of the Top14 season, while he also produced another solo stunner.

Excuse the emojis, but here was the individual try Kolbe scored. His acceleration and quick feet are ridiculous, but his sustained speed isn’t bad either!
