Springbok squad members Siya Kolisi and Juan de Jongh rejoined their DHL Western Province teammates at the HPC on Monday, a big boost ahead of the team’s Absa Currie Cup clash against the defending champion MTN Golden Lions.

The return of Kolisi (flank) and De Jongh (centre) could not have come at a better time for the DHL WP side, fresh off their 25-20 come-from-behind win over GWK Griquas in Kimberley this past weekend.

According to DHL WP team manager Chippie Solomon the duo were in fine spirits and looking forward to Saturday’s clash at Coca-Cola Park (kick-off 17h05).

With just winger Ederies Arendse (ankle) in doubt for the Lions clash, and star No 8 Duane Vermeulen having made his return to action from a knee injury, head coach Allister Coetzee would have been a happy man on Monday morning.
