Coetzee: Nortje's move to Japan was a 'tough, emotional' sacrifice

MARCELL Coetzee reflects on Ruan Nortje's “tough and emotional” decision to head to Japan.

Nortje is a quintessential Bull — he went to school in Pretoria at Hoërskool Wonderboom, supported the Blue Bulls growing up, joined the Bulls age group system out of school, and to date has played almost 150 games for the senior team since 2018. Nortje captained the Bulls in their URC finals in 2024 and 2025. Last week, Bulls fans were shocked by the out-of-the-blue revelation that Nortje will join the Kobe Steelers in Japan.

They were still getting over the news that another star player, David Kriel, is leaving for La Rochelle.
