Steven Kitshoff’s brief stint at Ulster was discussed on today’s podcast.
SPRINGBOK WORLD CUP winner Steven Kitshoff ’s brief stint at Ulster was one of the topics discussed on Rugby Weekly Extra today, the podcast for subscribers to The 42.
Murray Kinsella, rugby journalist with The 42, said what has happened would probably “make you wary about similar signings” in future. Kinsella added: “No, it hasn’t been a successful signing – it’s patently obvious now he’s gone pretty much straight away. As soon as he signed, as I said, I was excited. Then I heard John Dobson in the South African media – Ulster had announced it as a three-year deal, explicitly as a three-year deal, and I heard John saying he’s signed a two plus one and he basically said, I’m paraphrasing here, he’s coming home after two.
