Gael Fickou discusses Racing 92’s future as Siya Kolisi contemplates move back to South Africa after one year in France

France and Racing 92 center, Gael Fickou, shared his thoughts on Monday regarding the possibility of Siya Kolisi, the Springbok captain, leaving the French club. After just one year into his three-year contract, Kolisi has been rumored to consider a return to the Sharks in Durban. Fickou made it clear that he will “respect” Kolisi’s decision, understanding that personal and family matters come first.

Rumors of a Move Back to South Africa

The speculation surrounding Kolisi’s potential departure is fueled by reports that an American businessman might be willing to cover the costs of his transfer. It’s said that Kolisi’s family has been feeling homesick in Paris, which could prompt the flanker to leave Racing 92 sooner than expected. Fickou empathizes with Kolisi’s situation, stating that if moving back to South Africa is what Kolisi needs to do for his family, then it’s the right decision for him.

Kolisi’s Impact and the Team’s Future

Kolisi’s arrival at Racing 92, after last year’s World Cup, was seen as a game-changer for the team. He was expected to help elevate the club from being a glamorous contender to a legitimate title threat. However, Fickou is confident that Kolisi’s potential departure won’t derail the team’s preparations for the upcoming Top 14 season. With new star signing Owen Farrell set to make his debut at Castres, Fickou believes that no player is indispensable, and the team will find other ways to succeed.

Injury Concerns and Future Plans

In addition to the transfer rumors, Kolisi’s status for the upcoming matches is also in doubt. After sustaining a facial injury during the Springboks’ Rugby Championship win over New Zealand, Kolisi is uncertain to play in this Saturday’s match in Cape Town. Racing 92 is not expecting Kolisi to return to the club until late September, following the conclusion of the Rugby Championship.

So, what’s next for Kolisi and Racing 92? Only time will tell, but for now, the focus remains on the team’s preparations and Kolisi’s recovery.
