Priceless side stepping ironically has a huge price tag attached to it in the context of Springboks speedster, Cheslin Kolbe.
Springboks star, Cheslin Kolbe is fan-favourite in South Africa.
Moreover, the World Rugby Player of the Year nominee is one of the best players in World Rugby. So, it comes as no surprise that he takes home such a big salary every month.

CHESLIN KOLBE SALARY
Kolbe is taking home R22 million a season playing for Japanese-based outfit, Tokyo Sungoliath.
So, this equates to R1.83m a month, as reported on The South African.
Meaning, Kolbe earns more than Springbok captain, Siya Kolisi. In fact, this makes Kolbe the highest-paid Springboks star.

SPRINGBOKS SCINTILLATING SPEEDSTER
Ultimately, he is the most diverse player in Rassie Erasmus’ current Springbok squad. The speedster is a game-breaker with tremendous X-factor. Capable of tearing even the world’s best defenses to shreds in the blink an eye. His eye for a gap and his scintillating speed and skill is a nightmare for defenders.
To make matters worse for opposition outfits, those who do catch him then face the world’s most dangerous side step. Meanwhile, he is explosive in contact too, as Scott Barrett found out at Ellis Park earlier this year.
Kolbe has been utilized at scrumhalf and even threw in at the lineup under Rassie. Meanwhile, he has played flyfalf for Toulon and fullback and wing for the Stormers and Springboks.
