“And thats a wrap in Paris ❤️🇫🇷. Gave myself 3 days to pack up our home here – very wild. But it’s done.
This is my 4th move in 18 months – so I’ve gotten good at it 😅,” she wrote.

“Incredibly grateful for the small but very solid group of friends made here. This week has been a roller coaster of emotions but grateful for every call and message of encouragement and support! Excited for the next chapter and whatever my good God has in store for me,” she continued.

SIYA KOLISI REJOINS THE SHARKS

The Sharks announced that Siya will be rejoining the Durban-based team via a tweet on 9 September.

“Siya is an influential player, whose leadership and passion is known and celebrated across the globe. We are glad that he has chosen to return to Durban and don the black and white jersey once again. The positive influence he has on young players and the high standards that he sets for himself and those around him, is beneficial to any team he is part of. Off the field, the immense contribution that he makes can never be underestimated,” said The Sharks Director of Rugby Neil Powell.

Siya also spoke out on the move back to The Sharks.

“My family and I have enjoyed a wonderful year abroad that has given us cherished memories. We have missed South Africa though and it is time to come home. I would like to thank Racing 92 for accommodating my request to return home and for the exciting opportunity they gave me to play abroad. It is a great club steeped in tradition with an impressive group of players, who I can now call brothers for life,” he said.

This comes after Handre Pollard’s son had his baptism in South Africa.
