Siya Kolisi, the Springbok captain, is once again in the news for his transfer requests. This marks the second time this year that Kolisi has sought a move, and this time, the spotlight is on his future at the Sharks.

After a challenging period at Racing 92, Kolisi made a return to the Sharks in 2021 following an eight-year tenure at the Stormers, where he earned 118 caps and solidified his place as one of the top players in South Africa.

Kolisi’s Desire to Rejoin the Stormers

Kolisi’s latest request seems to be motivated by a desire to reunite with his children, as he shares two kids with his ex-wife, Rachel.

The move he’s aiming for would see him back with the Stormers, marking his third club switch within a year.

It’s clear that the emotional pull of being closer to his family is a driving factor in this decision.

Sharks Set to Grant Kolisi’s Transfer Request

While it’s likely that the Sharks will agree to Kolisi’s request, the question remains whether John Dobson, the coach of the Stormers, will be interested in bringing him back to the team.

Given Kolisi’s immense skill and the fact that he’s a double World Cup winner, it would be surprising if the Stormers didn’t at least consider the move.

However, the final decision is still up in the air.

Rassie Erasmus Reflects on Springbok Success

In a separate development, Rassie Erasmus, South Africa’s director of rugby, took the opportunity to praise the Springbok players for their achievements.

Reflecting on the players who made it into the prestigious Dream XV, Erasmus expressed immense pride in their accomplishments and the impact they’ve had on the game.

Erasmus also wished all the players and fans a wonderful festive season.

He emphasized the importance of staying humble, supporting one another, and keeping focused on the bigger picture, representing South Africa with pride.
