Dobson resigned to losing Gelant to French club: 'He will go with our blessing'

Stormers head coach John Dobson on Friday seemed resigned to losing star World Cup-winning fullback Warrick Gelant, who he said was in "advanced talks with a French club", believed to be Racing Metro.

Rapport reported earlier this month that Gelant missed the Springbok alignment camp to sign his contract with Racing 92, where he'll link up with former Bulls teammate Trevor Nyakane.

He's also formed a deadly trio with fellow Springbok Damian Willemse, who shifted to inside centre, and former Bulls team-mate Manie Libbok at flyhalf.

Despite expecting to lose one of the sharpest tools of his armoury, Dobson said Gelant would leave with their blessing.

"He's in advanced talks with a team in France and we won't stand in his way," said Dobson.

"What we've seen from him is this passion to leave with the biggest high," said Dobson.

"He's got the most sophisticated kicking game and if you put him with Damian Willemse, Manie Libbok, it's really hard for the opposition to cope
