The Stormers have been beaten by Wellington Hurricanes, Auckland Blues and Queensland Reds on their tour. Kolisi took responsibility for the Friday's 24-12 defeat by Queensland Reds after his yellow card swung the fixture in favour of the home side.

Kolisi is likely to captain the Springboks at the World Cup in Japan later this year and had started each one of the Stormers’ seven fixtures so far this season.

The Stormers have won three matches and are bottom of the South African conference.
