Aplon linked with French move

Cape Town - The Stormers could lose another frontline player with wing/fullback Gio Aplon linked with a move to France.

According to Die Burger's website, the 31-year-old Aplon is likely to move to French Top 14 side Grenoble.

Should Aplon leave the Capetonians, he will be the latest in a long line of top players to leave the team in recent seasons.

The likes of Bryan Habana (France), Andries Bekker (Japan), Dewaldt Duvenage (France), Gerhard van den Heever (Ireland) and Jaque Fourie (Japan) are a few key players to seek employment elsewhere in recent times, while flank Schalk Burger is also linked with a move to Japanese side, Suntory Sungoliath.

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
