WHICH TEAM DOES HE PLAY FOR?

Meanwhile, rumours are rife that Pieter-Steph du Toit may return to his old club of the Stormers.

The star player signed to Toyota Verblitz in Japan last year but is reportedly already eyeing a move back home.

Du Toit told Rugby World of his time abroad: “The style of rugby is different. What you lose in terms of those big hits, you gain in terms of speed. My fitness has gone to the next level since I’ve been here.

“There’s the added advantage of less travel time, which benefits the guys who want to be closer to their families. All in all, there’s less stress.”
