As Springbok winger Sbu Nkosi takes baby steps to get back on his feet, the Blue Bulls have refrained from commenting on the consequences he will face for going awol for three weeks.

“He is an employee of the company and being absent without leave for three weeks does have consequences,” said Blue Bulls CEO Edgar Rathbone.

After a long heart-to-heart with Nkosi on Monday, Rathbone said he got the impression the 2019 World Cup-winner is determined to return to the field. Rathbone said Nkosi’s situation must serve as a wake-up call for sporting codes to take mental health seriously. “This was an unfortunate episode of accumulative circumstances. We need to understand that Sbu came on to the scene at a very young age, about 20.
