[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 1093177, member: 39190"] Kitshoff rumored to leave us for Ulster but most likely only after next season and the 2023 RWC. That'd give us time to find a decent replacement loose head and lighten the load on the budget though Kitshoff is good value as our current captain.
