Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 79990, member: 636"] Wild move coming for the Springbok captain. Siya Kolisi is apparently heading back to the Stormers in 2026, taking a huge pay cut to do it. The main reason is family, as he wants to be near his kids in Cape Town after his divorce. The deal is for three years, starting when he's thirty-five, which is definitely raising eyebrows given his age. The team's boss, Johan le Roux, talked up his iconic status and family values. Their director of rugby, John Dobson, said Kolisi will be key for mentoring young guys in their long-term "Project 2029" plan. Kolisi himself called it a return to where he started, saying his stint with the Sharks was special, but this is about being close to home. It looks like he'll finish his career where it began.
