“It has been an incredible collaborative effort between the Sharks and Racing 92 that has enabled me to start a new chapter after the 2023 World Cup. After these competitions, it is the Rugby World Cup in France and then Kolisi will move to Paris with his family to start the final chapter of his career, and the end of a World Cup campaign is a natural watershed. The 31-year-old has recently been made captain and the Sharks have a genuine chance of winning the Champions Cup as long as they have the services of Kolisi and the rest of their Springboks. This does sound like the cushioning of the blow of Kolisi leaving the Sharks halfway through his five-year contract, but the deal does appear to be amicable, and a vital part of the agreement is that Kolisi will see out this year’s United Rugby Championship (URC) and Heineken Champions Cup campaigns. A joint statement between Racing and the Sharks said the Kolisi deal is part of a broader long-term collaboration between them.
