CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - Stormers loose forward Siya Kolisi admits he has had some growing up to do since bursting onto the Super Rugby scene four years ago but feels he is now ready to play a key leadership role in guiding them to glory this season. "I had a conversation with the coach last year and he told me I had to grow up, basically," Kolisi told Reuters in an interview. The Cape Town-based side have a challenging fixture list that will see them take on New Zealand's five Super Rugby teams this season. If that is what it takes to win Super Rugby, so be it." Kolisi is convinced that the Stormers, who start their season with a bruising North-South derby at home to the Bulls on Saturday, are genuine title contenders this season.
