Assistant coach Mzwandile Stick has given an injury update on Siya Kolisi, saying the World Cup-winning skipper is “surprising” Springbok management with his recovery.
Kolisi, along with flyhalf Handre Pollard, could play his first Test of 2023 in the World Cup warm-ups in August, and both seemingly showed no ill-effects of their knee injuries while doing light training with the squad this week in Johannesburg.
The Boks launch their defence of the Webb Ellis Cup in France in September, and speaking to the media in the build-up to Saturday’s Rugby Championship clash against Argentina, Stick told reporters: “With the way Siya has been getting back into the swing of things, every time I see him, I am surprised with the things he does.
“But once again, he [Kolisi] is one of those massive guys in our team regarding his leadership skills. “It would be stupid to write off Argentina especially after their victory against Australia. They’ve delivered some fantastic results in the last two seasons, so you can never underestimate them. They are a good team and if we are off our game, they will punish us,” he said.“It’s also our last home game before the Rugby World Cup, so it’s important to deliver a good performance.”
