Cape Town – The rumblings, uncertainty and dust eventually settled in Cape Town on Wednesday night when Pieter-Steph du Toit finally committed himself to the Cape.
That is only for now, as he is almost likely to leave for Europe after next year’s Test series against the British and Irish Lions.
Du Toit chose to remain with the Western Cape and the Stormers following his initial decision to cancel his contract shortly before the end to the 21-day window offered to players in return for collective acceptance of pay cuts due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
“Pieter-Steph is an important team member‚ his extraordinary work-rate coupled with his ball carrying skills‚ makes our forward pack even more formidable,” said Stormers’ coach John Dobson.
