Steven Kitshoff’s imminent departure for Ulster may not signal the end of his illustrious career with the DHL Stormers, according to coach John Dobson.
Kitshoff will lead the Stormers in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship semi-finals against Connacht on Saturday in what could be his final appearance at a packed Cape Town Stadium as he prepares to run out for Ulster next season.

However, in an interview with SmileFM, Dobson said that the prop’s exit would only be pausing his Stormers career.
“The Spicy Plum is coming back,” said Dobson. “We’ve shaken hands and know the terms. Kitsie is such a giant, he can play until he is 38 or 39 like Brok [Harris].”
