Kolisi injury concern ahead of Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry series: ‘I hurt my hamstring again’

Springbok captain Siya Kolisi may miss Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry series against the All Blacks due to a recurring hamstring injury he suffered once again during their recent Test against Argentina. In a poor performance from the Boks, Kolisi limped off in the first half of the match, raising concerns about his fitness for the upcoming series. While he seemed optimistic during the post-match interview, his coach Rassie Erasmus remained more positive, stating that Kolisi's injury doesn't look too bad.

Kolisi admitted that his team was not at their best during the match, but praised Argentina for their efforts, particularly with several key players missing. He noted that the Boks had a chance to field more depth, which could be beneficial ahead of their Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry series. Despite the setback, Kolisi expressed anticipation for the upcoming match against the All Blacks, calling it great preparation for the series.
