Question mark hangs over Springboks captain Siya Kolisi

Rehabbing an injury isn't rest. At all. They won't be sitting on the sofa playing Xbox

Both McCaw and Carter worked on their conditioning while having their game time managed. Carter in particular was down to 91 kilos for the 2015 RWC -his lightest weight as a pro

The French July touring teams have fringe players from many Top14 clubs. As capped test players, their clubs are permitted exemptions to spend around their leagues salary cap. It's smart business and understandable

Life is a meat grinder and most of us are simply making money for others and funding illegal wars with our taxes

It's still hugely enjoyable

But they can bring it on a consistent basis week in week out in National colors like the top French players can’t.

Maybe it’s about the heavy load that lies ahead you were banging on about the other day?

Besides “going back to Cape Town” what is your actual suggestion here? To the management and financiers of the sharks specifically? Do these players transfer themselves to clubs?

Sh|t happens. At least Siya isn’t crowding out up and coming players (like Phepsi) and the sharks aren’t selfishly risking injuring the springbok captain - unless you’re suggesting he’s feigning injury? And everyone’s in on it?

As you’ve correctly suggested, some fit and some don’t. And the sharks are still far from sorting out their own coaching woes. It’s not as if the sharks have been exquisitely run over the past 12 - 18 months.

Perhaps the clubs and their rich owners are part of the problem? Did you notice Owen Farrell’s departure from Racing?

If Siya leaves for Cape Town immediately or never plays for the sharks agains - what difference does it actually make?

Stop whining.

Yeah I prefer him a great Bok. Couldn’t care less if he’s a great shark.

It’s already confirmed, he’s going back to the Stormers in July
