Siya could miss the Rugby World Cup following a "significant" knee injury.
Rachel Kolisi - the wife of Springbok captain Siya Kolisi - has asked her followers to pray for the family.
The Cell C Sharks player sustained a knee injury during a match against Munster at the weekend.
Rachel, 32, shared a picture of Siya's hand with the word "Jesus" written on a strap.
"Hey friends! Believing for a miracle. Would really appreciate if you could take a minute out your day to pray with us! I’ve seen God do it before and believe he will do it again," Rachel wrote on Instagram.

Siya Kolisi moving family to France
Missing the World Cup will be a major blow for Siya and his family, who were no doubt looking forward to seeing him in action.
The Kolisi family is set to move to France after the global showpiece. Siya will be joining French club Racing 92.
Rachel flew to France a week ago to look for a house and schools for their children. The couple has two kids together - Nicholas and Keziah.
They are also the guardians of Siya's siblings, Liyema and Liphelo.
"One incoming, one outgoing 🥹. But grateful to see him for 2 minutes. He just got home from France and I’m on my way there! (Paris). School and House hunting. Pray for me," Rachel captioned a picture with Siya earlier this month.
She spent a full day in France looking at different schools. "Must be one of the hardest decisions for parents to make. So much to consider, and super challenging when it's completely different to what you've experienced!" Rachel said.
