Zekhethelo Siyaya has been one of the Sharks' standout stories of the URC season — an 18-year-old former Westville schoolboy who barely needed settling-in time before announcing himself with footwork that draws inevitable comparisons to Kolbe and Arendse. Four appearances, a brace of tries against Zebre, and an eye-catching performance against Edinburgh were enough to earn him an invitation to the Springbok alignment camp. JP Pietersen has used him at both 10 and 15 and is clearly convinced he can handle the playmaking demands of the former. The piece frames Siyaya as a genuine emerging talent — not just another promising teenager, but one whose combination of instinct, fearlessness and Sharks loyalty has already caught Erasmus's eye well ahead of schedule.
