Springboks dealt major Siya Kolisi injury scare ahead of Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry
The Springboks will sweat over Siya Kolisi’s fitness ahead of Rugby's Greatest Rivalry after the captain suffered another hamstring injury in their 17-10 win over Argentina.
Springboks captain Siya Kolisi faces a major injury scare ahead of Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry with New Zealand. The 35-year-old flanker suffered another hamstring injury during the Springboks' 17-10 victory over Argentina in Buenos Aires. Kolisi lasted only 24 minutes before being forced off the field. He later stated that he had injured his hamstring again and will undergo a scan to determine the extent of the injury.
This setback comes at a crucial time for the Springboks, with their four-Test series against the All Blacks starting in a couple of weeks. Head coach Rassie Erasmus confirmed that the injury does not appear too serious initially, but the Boks will be concerned about the impact on Kolisi's availability for the opener and the concussion suffered by teammates André Esterhuizen and Cameron Hanekom.
