Veteran loosehead prop Steven Kitshoff has given the DHL Stormers over a decade of service and head coach John Dobson says the union will not stand in the Springbok's way if he wants to join Ulster.
Veteran loosehead prop Steven Kitshoff has given the DHL Stormers over a decade of service and head coach John Dobson says the club will not stand in the Springbok’s way if he wants to join Ulster.Kitshoff is reportedly set to join Ulster once his Stormers contract comes to an end after the World Cup.
However, Dobson could not hide his irritation when the subject of another Stormers star player leaving the Western Cape came up. “We focus on developing our own players and all the South African unions are like that. But once we do that, we have to deal with approaches for our players from elsewhere. It’s tiring, I will be honest with you.
Both Springboks were left out of the original squad that travelled to Italy to face Zebre, but are on the bench this weekend.
