Rugby: Kolbe says he always believed he would return to Cape Town

# Rugby: Versatile Springbok Cheslin Kolbe says he always believed he would return to Cape Town eventually. His departure from his Japanese club was confirmed yesterday, and he will play for the Stormers again from July. The 32-year-old double World Cup winner made his debut for South Africa in 2018 and played 49 Tests since, scoring 136 points. He left the Stormers for French outfit Toulouse in 2017, and moved to Japan in 2023. Kolbe says it’s huge to return to the team where it all started for him.
