Kolisi Back to His Roots as Stormers Include Him for Edinburgh Clash

On Friday, South Africa captain Siya Kolisi returns to the Stormers starting lineup after more than five years, earning his 119th cap against Edinburgh at Hive Stadium.
Kolisi spent a decade with the Stormers before playing for the Sharks and Racing 92 in France, then recently led South Africa to a 3-1 series victory over the New Zealand All Blacks.
Stormers coach John Dobson praised the flanker's "cheerful presence" and integration efforts on tour, with Kolisi starting at openside flank alongside Ntuthuko Mchunu in the front row.
Director of Rugby John Dobson aims to secure a win before returning to Cape Town, requiring "a big effort from all 23 players" to succeed in this tour finale.
Following this match, the Stormers return to Cape Town for four consecutive home games, a crucial period to build on their away win against Connacht in Galway.
