South Africa captain Siya Kolisi has left Racing 92 with two years of his contract still to run, the French Top 14 club announced on Sunday.
Image XThe not altogether unexpected news – Kolisi’s family was reportedly homesick in the French capital – came 24 hours after Kolisi led the Springboks to an 18-12 win over New Zealand at Cape Town.Playing with a broken nose, Kolisi scored a try early in the second half as South Africa overturned a 9-3 half-time deficit in what he said was South Africa’s most important game since they won the World Cup final against the same opponents in Paris last year.
In their statement Racing 92 added: “The two parties thank each other for the sporting moments in the sky blue and white jersey and wish each other in the future”.Kolisi arrived in France last year to much fanfare after the second of his World Cup wins with the Springboks.“If he feels like his family are not well settled in France and that he needs to be down there, then I understand it and we will respect that.
