Cape Town - Sharks speedster Werner Kok pleaded with his supporters to keep their eyes open for his collection of Springbok Sevens jerseys that were allegedly stolen from a storage facility in Cape Town.
On Twitter on Friday morning, Kok shared that all of his Sevens jerseys had been stolen.
The flyer - who has made the switch to the 15-man game - has made 184 appearances for the Blitzboks and was a part of the Blitzbok squad that beat New Zealand 17-12 in the final of the 2014 Commonwealth Games to end the All Blacks' 30-match unbeaten run and become the first team other than New Zealand to win gold at the event. He also represented South Africa at the 2016 Olympic Games.
Terrible news @wernerkok1! https://t.co/jJmqobbBeC

“Everything is gone all my achievements and special jerseys from Commonwealth to Olympics and every tournament in-between my heart is heavy because no amount of money will ever be able to replace this. A legacy I wanted to show my children, just taken.”
Kok encouraged anybody who spots his jerseys to get in touch.
