Cheslin Kolbe retornará ao Stormers e aos Springboks

Cheslin Kolbe está prestes a se juntar novamente ao Stormers na Cidade do Cabo após nove anos no exterior, trazendo experiência para a equipe e para os Springboks antes da Copa do Mundo de 2027.

O jogador polivalente de 32 anos, que conquistou duas Copas do Mundo de Rugby e outros títulos importantes, encerrará seu período com o Suntory Sungoliath no Japão. Ele lidera a Japan Rugby League One em pontos, com 205, e deve participar da semifinal contra o Kobelco Kobe Steelers neste sábado.

Kolbe será mentor de jogadores do Stormers, incluindo Jonathan Roche, Markus Muller e JC Mars. Ele também se reunirá com colegas dos Springboks, como Cobus Reinach, Damian Willemse e Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu. O técnico John Dobson observou que Kolbe aceitou uma redução salarial para retornar para casa e ajudar a conquistar troféus.

Outros jogadores que estão retornando incluem Thomas du Toit, no Sharks, e Wilco Louw, no Stormers. Faf de Klerk assinou com o Cheetahs. Os Springboks têm jogos agendados contra o Barbarians e o Zimbábue em Gqeberha no dia 20 de junho.
