South Africa wing Sbu Nkosi found 'safe and sound'
By PA
Missing South Africa international Sbu Nkosi has been found “safe and sound”, his club side the Bulls have confirmed.
The Pretoria-based outfit revealed at the weekend that Nkosi had been reported as missing to police.
At that point the club had had no contact with the 26-year-old since November 11.
They have now released a statement confirming that he was located on Monday.
The Bulls statement added: “Once it was established that Nkosi was safe, unharmed and in a position to speak, chief executive Edgar Rathbone went into Nkosi’s home (with the permission of the player), spending alone time with him, to understand how best the company can provide him with the support he needs and what that support is.
“We are thrilled that Nkosi is safe.”
No further details of Nkosi’s disappearance have been provided but the club are to hold a press conference on Tuesday.
Wing Nkosi has earned 16 Springboks caps and was a member of their 2019 World Cup-winning squad.

Does anyone know a way to loook at how many mins each player has played whilst on tour?
Go to commentsIt certainly needs to be cherished. Despite Nick (and you) highlighting their usefulness for teams like Australia (and obviously those in France they find form with) I (mention it general in those articles) say that I fear the game is just not setup in Aus and NZ to appreciate nor maximise their strengths. The French game should continue to be the destination of the biggest and most gifted athletes but it might improve elsewhere too.
I just have an idea it needs a whole team focus to make work. I also have an idea what the opposite applies with players in general. I feel like French backs and halves can be very small and quick, were as here everyone is made to fit in a model physique. Louis was some 10 and 20 kg smaller that his opposition and we just do not have that time of player in our game anymore. I'm dying out for a fast wing to appear on the All Blacks radar.
But I, and my thoughts on body size in particular, could be part of the same indoctrination that goes on with player physiques by the establishment in my parts (country).
