Stormers boss John Dobson has revealed when Cheslin Kolbe is set to return from injury, while also discussing SA Rugby’s engagement with clubs over Springbok game time.
Stormers head coach John Dobson announced that Cheslin Kolbe is not expected to feature in the Springboks' upcoming end-of-year tour. Kolbe, who broke his jaw against the All Blacks on September 5, is instead targeting a return to action for the Stormers against the Sharks on December 5.
Dobson noted that SA Rugby has placed no pressure on the club regarding player rotation or rest periods. The Stormers have rested several key Springboks, including Siya Kolisi and Damian Willemse, for their United Rugby Championship match against Scarlets to prioritize overall player welfare.
