Boks' World Cup winner Nkosi goes missing

The Blue Bulls said he last had contact with anyone at the club on November 11 and the team opened a missing person case with police on November 17.

"This resulted from the grave worry and concern of everyone (at the Blue Bulls)," the team said.

The Pretoria-based team has sent officials to check for Nkosi at his home four times over the past three weeks and haven't found him.

They are relying on "the expert assistance of the South African Police Services" to locate him.

The 26-year-old Nkosi played 16 Tests for the Springboks and was part of the squad that won the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan.
