Despite being under contract with Racing Metro 92, reports suggest Kolisi is close to rejoining The Sharks after representing the Boks at the Rugby Championship.

Kolisi, who will captain the Boks during their Championship campaign, said he is not too concerned about his future and is focused on beating the Wallabies.
