Springbok centurions to sign with Boland?
Pieter-Steph du Toit and Damian de Allende could be on their way to the Boland, according to a report.
Two South African Springbok Test players, Pieter-Steph du Toit (103 Tests) and Damian de Allende (104 Tests), may retire in their home country and play for the Boland Cavaliers in the Western Cape, according to a report by Rapport. Both 34-year-old players have roots in the Western Cape and could sign contracts with Boland, participating in the SA Cup and potentially the Currie Cup.
Du Toit recently left his Japanese club, Toyota Verblitz, to return to South Africa, and De Allende is also considering a return from the Wild Knights. The Boland Cavaliers, despite lacking the funds to contract both players, could potentially accommodate them among other teams like the Stormers or Bulls, who have recently signed high-profile South African rugby players.
Both du Toit and De Allende, who grew up and were educated in the Western Cape, are not expected to extend their careers beyond the 2023 World Cup in Australia.
