It is reported that a third party is willing to help pay the 30-year-old’s salary, as it is understood that the South African teams have already spent a large portion of their budgets until 2024.
Du Toit, the 2019 World Rugby Player of the Year, left the Stormers last year after making 59 appearances for the Cape side from 2016 to 2021.
