Siya news excites Rassie

Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus is excited about the possible return of captain Siya Kolisi to the Sharks, ahead of the coming franchise season, after it emerged that he was negotiating an early release from his contract with French giants Racing 92.

Kolisi endured a difficult season in France, having left the Sharks after the Boks won the World Cup last year, with him starting off well before a number of injuries stunted his progress.

That led to Racing 92 owner Jacky Lorenzetti launching a scathing personal attack on Kolisi after they were dumped out of the Top 14 race at the quarterfinal stage, which was likely the final straw in the double World Cup winning captain deciding to end his stay in France early.
