Damian wants to finish in SA

Springbok centre Damian de Allende said he would love to finish his rugby career in his favourite city in the world, Cape Town, while playing for his former union, the Stormers.

The 87 Test-capped double World Cup winner has played the last three seasons at Japan's Wild Knights, and is set to complete two more there ahead of the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia.

De Allende, now 33, told media yesterday that his body "still feels very good" but his latter years have given him an appreciation for the sport he didn't have before. So he thinks about ending his career in South Africa "a lot".

"My contract finishes in 2027. I really enjoy it there but my body still feels very good at the moment," de Allende said.
