World Cup-winning captain Siya Kolisi is one of eight Springboks who have signed contract extensions with Western Province Rugby and will play for the DHL Stormers in 2020 and beyond.

World Rugby Player of the Year Pieter-Steph du Toit, Steven Kitshoff, Bongi Mbonambi, Scarra Ntubeni, Frans Malherbe, Damian Willemse and Dillyn Leyds have all joined Kolisi and a host of other talented players in committing to the DHL Stormers until 2021.

These Springboks will form the core of a competitive DHL Stormers squad going forward, along with the likes of Junior Springbok captains Salmaan Moerat and Ernst van Rhyn, who have also signed extensions.

Props Kwenzo Blose, Leon Lyons and Neethling Fouche, locks JD Schickerling and Chris van Zyl, loose forwards Juarno Augustus, Ben-Jason Dixon, Johan du Toit and Nama Xaba and backs Sergeal Petersen, Edwill van der Merwe, Dan du Plessis, Jean-Luc du Plessis and Sihle Njezula have all signed new contracts with Western Province Rugby.

These extensions further strengthen the DHL Stormers' playing stocks, with players such as
Springboks Herschel Jantjies and Wilco Louw still under current contracts, along with players such as Cobus Wiese, Jaco Coetzee and Ruhan Nel.

DHL Stormers Head Coach John Dobson said that he is looking forward to building a competitive squad around these key signings.

"Players like Siya Kolisi, Pieter-Steph du Toit, Steven Kitshoff, Bongi Mbonambi, Scarra Ntubeni, Dillyn Leyds, Damian Willemse and Frans Malherbe are part of the fabric of DHL Stormers rugby, so it is fantastic to know that they will all be around to add value to our team environment in the next two years.

"We know what these players offer on and off the field, the challenge now is to get the most out of their considerable talents," he said.

Kolisi said that by keeping the core of the squad together, the DHL Stormers have a great opportunity to achieve something special next season.

"I have been playing with some of these guys my whole career and we are all looking forward to reaching new heights in a DHL Stormers jersey. We have a strong group of senior players and talented youngsters coming through all the time, which is what we need to reach our goal of rewarding the Faithful for their incredible support.

"I know it has been a tough few years for us and our Faithful, we really appreciate them for sticking with us and hopefully we will have plenty to celebrate in the future," he said.

Western Province Rugby Group CEO Paul Zacks said that given the strength of the players contracted, the future looks bright for the DHL Stormers.

"While the introduction of the new contracting model, salary caps and the number of senior players that we can contract has made it a challenging process, I am most pleased to confirm that we have managed to retain the majority of our senior players for 2020 and beyond.

"It is encouraging to see how many top players have bought into our vision for the future and we look forward to seeing them help develop some of the outstanding young talent we have coming through the ranks in the years to come," he said.

LOL Al is hy 'n WC wenner kan ek nogsteeds nie sy bakkies verdra nie, plaas jy hom 'n PK gee names ons leeu ondersteuners!

Op papier het die stormers 'n goeie span. Met Fleck weg kan hulle net dalk ver kom vlg jaar

Hulle span is beslis nie sterker as hierdie jaar nie, en hierdie jaar was hulle laaste van die SA spanne.

Die verskil is dat al hulle bokke nou WC champs is en sekerlik baie selfvertroue het. Plus hulle het minder spelers verloor as ander unies as ek dit nie mis het nie. En soos ek gese het, Fleck is weg. Dobson is 'n baie beter afrigter dink ek.

Hulle het ook maar heelwat spelers verloor, lys volgens Google:

Corne Fourie, Michael Kumbirai, Eben Etzebeth, Chris Massyn, Sikhumbuzo Notshe, Kobus van Dyk, Josh Stander, Damian de Allende, JJ Engelbrecht, Dan Kriel, Duncan Saal, Craig Barry, SP Marais, EW Viljoen.

Van daai ouens wat weg is is dit maar net EE en Duh Duh wat altyd begin het? Fourie en SP het seker redelik speelkans gekry, Notshe was lank beseer was hy nie?

Ek dink Van Dyk en EW Viljoen het ook seker meer begin as op die bank gesit, terwyl Fourie, Notshe, Stander en Marais seker ten minste in al die wedstryd 23 squads was

Hul sou baie beter gevaar het as hul meer gereeld vir Stander gespeel het, ek like hom.

Damian Willemse is mos die volgende wunderkind so ek twyfel of Stander veel speelkans gaan kry. Behalwe as hul Willemse op heelagter gaan speel, maar ek twyfel

Ek het ook gedink ek sal hom n PK wou gee, maar ek dink hy sal n tonnel deur my moer. Hy is rerig solid.

Josh Stander is playing in Japan next year

The Stormers are in a good space i.t.o. keeping players and will have no excuse for not doing well
