Former Springbok rugby player Sbu Nkosi, known for his stellar career and World Cup victory, opens up about the challenges he faces amidst a suspension and mental health struggles.

Sbu Nkosi, a former Springbok star with 16 caps and a Rugby World Cup win in 2019, is currently serving a suspension and shared his emotions about missing the game.

Nkosi's career took a downward turn as he battled mental health issues and faced a suspension after a promising start with the Sharks and Springboks.

Despite brief stints with the Bulls and Free State Cheetahs, Nkosi's career suffered setbacks, including a ban for testing positive for an anabolic steroid.

The 30-year-old winger is currently sidelined and unable to train or play professionally, longing to return to the field when his suspension ends in 2027.
